Comparison of the effectiveness of high resolution ultrasound with MRI in patients with temporomandibular joint dısorders.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05324826 (Comparison of the Effectiveness of Handheld Ultrasound with MRI for Diagnosing Patients with Temporomandibular Joint Disorders), which is not on this map.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
objectivesTo assess the effectiveness of a high resolution ultrasound for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) evaluation in comparison to MRI in patients with TMJ disorders.
methodsOur study comprised 50 patients (35 female and 15 male) with a mean age of 30.61. Clinical examination was performed. Bilateral imaging of TMJ was conducted by using a high-resolution ultrasound and 1.5 Tesla MR. Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound was assessed for disc displacement and joint effusion in comparison to MRI. Sensitivity (Se), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy (Ac) were calculated for ultrasound. Measurements were compared by Bland & Altman and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Significance level was set at
resultsMost frequent complaints were noise 42 (84%) and 34 (68%) pain. For disc position assessment with ultrasound for both sides and closed-open mouth, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy ranged between, 0.88 - 1, 0.60 - 0.87, 0.70 - 0.97, 0.75 - 1, and 0.84 - 0.98, respectively. For the diagnosis of effusion with ultrasound for both sides, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy ranged between 0.65 - 0.81, 0.91 - 1, 0.96 - 1, 0.45 - 0.46 and 0.72 - 0.84, respectively. ICC values calculated for intraobserver agreement for right and left TMJ for all measurements were found to be statistically significant (
conclusionUltrasound can be suggested as an adjunct to common imaging modalities in the assessment of TMJ.
