Morphological changes of TMJ disc in surgically treated ADDwoR patients: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundThis study aimed to quantify the morphological changes of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discs after disc repositioning surgery using the three-dimensional (3D) modeling.
methodsThirty patients who diagnosed with unilateral ADDwoR were included to compare the morphological differences between ADDWoR discs and normal discs, and fifteen patients who experienced unilateral or bilateral disc repositioning surgery were included to analyze the morphological changes before and after disc repositioning surgery. Disc 3D reconstruction and analyses were performed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data.
resultsIn the unilateral ADDwoR patients, volume, superficial area, length, and maximum longitudinal-sectional area of the ADDwoR disc were significantly smaller compared with the non-affected discs. However, there was no significant difference in width and cross-sectional areas between ADDwoR discs and non-affected discs. In patients who subjected to disc repositioning surgery, disc volume, superficial area, length, width and maximum longitudinal-sectional area of TMJ discs were markedly increased 6 months after surgery.
conclusionsThis study demonstrated that the TMJ discs tended to be morphologically smaller in volume and shorter in length under ADDwoR status. Importantly, the ADDwoR discs tended to morphologically recover toward non-affected discs after 6 months follow-up following TMJ disc repositioning surgery.
