1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Currently available jaw motion tracking methods require large accessories mounted on a patient and are utilized in controlled environments, for short-time examinations only. In some cases, especially in the evaluation of bruxism, a non-restrictive, 24-h jaw tracking method is needed. Bruxism oriented, electromyography (EMG)-based devices and sensor-enhanced occlusal splints are able to continuously detect masticatory activity but are uninformative in regards to movement trajectories and kinematics. This study explores a possibility to use a permanent magnet and a 3-axial magnetometer to track the mandible's spatial position in relation to the maxilla. An algorithm for determining the sensor's coordinates from magnetic field values was developed, and it was verified via analytical and finite element modeling and by using a 3D positioning system. Coordinates of the cubic test trajectory (a = 10 mm) were determined with root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.328±0.005 mm. Possibility for teeth impact detection by accelerometry was verified. Test on a 6 degrees-of-freedom (DOF), hexapod-based jaw motion simulator moving at natural speed confirmed the system's ability to simultaneously detect jaw position and the impacts of teeth. Small size of MEMS sensors is suitable for a wearable intra-oral system that could allow visualization of continuous jaw movement in 3D models and could enable new research on parafunctional jaw activities.
