Finite elements analysis of the temporomandibular joint disc in patients with intra-articular disorders.
Article in BMC oral health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
backgroundIntra-articular disorders (ID) or anterior and/or medial displacement of the temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) disc are the most common form of TMJ dysfunction (TMD). TMD causes changes in the friction coefficient during TMJ movement. Herein, we provided a three-dimensional (3D) finite-elements model (FEM) including the maxilla, disc, and mandible and evaluated the stress distribution with different friction coefficient.
methodsFourteen volunteers without TMD and 20 patients with MRI-diagnosed TMD were selected. CT and MRI data were collected to build the 3D FEA model of the mandible and TMJ disc. Stress distribution with different friction coefficient was measured.
resultIn the normal model, stress distribution on the TMJ disc was 2.07 ± 0.17, 1.49 ± 0.14, and 1.41 ± 0.14 MPa with 0.001, 0.3, and 0.4 friction coefficient, respectively. In the TMD model, stress distribution was 3.87 ± 0.15, 7.23 ± 0.22, and 7.77 ± 0.19 MPa respectively.
conclusionWhen the friction coefficient of the side with anterior displacement increased, stress on the disc, condyle and mandible of the opposite side increased. Simultaneously, stress values of the disc, condyle and mandible were higher than those of the normal lateral joint.
