Electromyographic changes in masseter and sternocleidomastoid muscles can be applied to diagnose of temporomandibular disorders: An observational study.
Article in Integrative medicine research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07082972 (Evaluation of the Effects of Occlusal Splint and Masseter Botulinum Toxin Injections on Head and Neck Muscles Using Electromyography), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundThe diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) is an important part of the functional cerebrospinal technique (FCST). In addition, surface electromyography (sEMG) is an important candidate for diagnosing TMD. In FCST, despite the importance of the cranio-cervical-mandibular system, few sEMG parameters consider TMDs. Thus, this study evaluated the possibility of TMD diagnosis by sEMG.
methodsThe study was conducted as an assessor-blinded cross-sectional study. Each of 35 participants were recruited for patient group and normal group separately based on the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD Symptoms Questionnaire (DC/TMD SQ). The sEMG was measured by attaching electrodes to sternocleidomastoid muscles (SCMM) and masseter muscles (MM) before and after wearing the temporomandibular joint balance appliance (TBA).
resultsThe percentage overlapping coefficient (POC) value of the healthy control group was increased compared with the TMD group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) value of the SCMM was greater than that of the MM. POC values before and after the SCMM also revealed significant changes compared to the MM.
conclusionThis study showed that the sEMG measurement of the SCMM is useful for TMD diagnosis in traditional Korean medicine.
