MRI of the temporomandibular joint in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: protocol and findings.
Review in Pediatric radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the technique of choice for diagnosis and monitoring of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), as it is able to visualize both soft tissue and osteochondral changes. Approximately 40% of children with JIA develop inflammatory and chronic osteochondral changes observable on imaging, which if left untreated can lead to significant facial growth impairment, including facial asymmetry and retrognathia. MRI of the TMJ plays a paramount role in diagnosis and treatment monitoring in JIA since early signs of TMJ involvement are difficult to detect clinically and with physical examination. Findings of TMJ arthritis may be classified into acute and chronic domains. Early or acute manifestations include joint effusion, bone marrow edema, synovial thickening, and increased joint enhancement. With disease progression, there are characteristic osteochondral changes, including deformity of the mandibular condyle with shortening of the mandibular ramus, bone erosions, and disk abnormalities. In this pictorial essay, we describe a consensus MRI protocol for the study of the TMJ and illustrate the degree of normal and pathological MRI findings using currently available MRI scoring systems of the TMJ developed for JIA.
