An Improved Finite Element Model of Temporomandibular Joint in Maxillofacial System: Experimental Validation.
Article in Annals of biomedical engineering, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Finite element (FE) analysis has become a popular method of exploring the biomechanical characteristics of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). However, the FE model should be improved and its reliability should be verified further. This study developed a complete maxillofacial model by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The integrity and physiological environment of TMJ were considered. Then the FE model and corresponding 3D printed model were developed and loaded under the same conditions. The strains on the mandible and upper surface of the left articular disc were measured on the experimental model and compared with the FE model. The differences of the strains on the mandible were less than 6%. The strain distributions on the disc were also approximate between the experimental and simulated results. It indicated that the strains calculated from the improved FE model were reliable on the mandible and inside the TMJ.
