Anterior joint space narrowing in patients with temporomandibular disorder.
Article in Journal of orofacial orthopedics = Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie : Organ/official journal Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Kieferorthopadie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this work is to investigate changes in the anterior joint space (AJS) and the relationship of such changes to clinical symptoms in chronic temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) patients, and to compare symptoms between chronic and acute TMD patients.
methodsData from 100 TMD patients diagnosed based on the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (55 women; mean age 34.34 ± 14.88 years) including 50 patients with acute TMD (aTMD) and 50 patients with chronic TMD (cTMD) were analyzed. The AJS was calculated based on cone-beam computed tomography images analyzed using AutoCAD software (Autodesk Inc., San Francisco, CA, USA). The presence of osteoarthritis (OA) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was evaluated using bone scintigraphy.
resultsBilateral OA was significantly more frequent in patients with cTMD than in those with aTMD (50% vs. 30%; p < 0.05). Significant differences in the AJS of the TMJs were found between patients with cTMD and those with aTMD. AJS values of both right and left TMJs were significantly smaller in the patients with cTMD than in those with aTMD (4.18 ± 1.71 mm
conclusionsOver time, AJS of the TMJ can be narrowed in TMD patients, causing aggravation of TMJ dysfunction.
