Efficacy of botulinum toxin in the management of temporomandibular myofascial pain and sleep bruxism.
Article in Journal of the Korean Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05651256 (Preliminary Findings of the Efficacy of Botulinum Toxin in Temporomandibular Disorders), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
objectives: This study sought to evaluate the efficacy of injecting botulinum toxin into the masseter and temporal muscles in patients with temporomandibular myofascial pain and sleep bruxism. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was conducted based on a clinical record review of 44 patients (36 females and eight males; mean age, 35.70±12.66 years). Patients who underwent the injection of botulinum toxin into the masseter and temporal muscles for the management of temporomandibular myofascial pain and sleep bruxism were included in the study. Patients were diagnosed based on the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. Sleep bruxism was diagnosed according to the criteria defined by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. The values of the visual analogue scale (VAS) and range of jaw motion, including unassisted maximum mouth opening (MMO), protrusion, and right and left laterotrusion, were observed preoperatively and postoperatively at one-, three-, and six-month follow-up visits.
resultsMMO, movements of the right and the left laterotrusion, and protrusion increased significantly (
conclusionBotulinum toxin is an effective treatment for patients with temporomandibular myofascial pain and sleep bruxism.
