Temporomandibular Disorders: Fundamental Questions and Answers.
Review in Turkish journal of orthodontics, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
This review aimed to present the current evidence-based answers to a questionnaire which was developed to evaluate the beliefs and knowledge of dental professionals concerning temporomandibular disorder (TMD). A literature review was conducted using the PubMed/Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cochrane, Google Scholar, and Scopus search engines from January 1980 to June 2020 corresponding to TMD diagnosis, causes, management, and consequences. A total of 50 articles were considered relevant and selected for full review. The etiology of TMD is multifactorial and complicated and involves several direct and indirect factors. Orthodontic treatment does not appear to either prevent or relieve TMD to a great degree. Nevertheless, condylar and occlusal stability reduces the risk of TMD development. As a result, an assessment of the function of masticatory system prior to beginning orthodontic therapy is fundamental. If signs and symptoms of TMD are significantly present, they should be managed before any orthodontic intervention. Moreover, psychological disorders are strongly associated with joint and facial pain. Thus, professionals who work with chronic TMD patients need to be aware of the psychological aspects of chronic pain and refer the patient for psychological evaluation when warranted. Future research elucidating a cause-effect relationship and neurobehavioral processes underlining chronic pain should be performed.
