A Comparative Study of Temporomandibular Joints in Adults with Definite Sleep Bruxism on Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Cone-Beam Computer Tomography Images.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. 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
objectiveThe aim was to study the imaging characteristics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of definite sleep bruxers through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cone-beam computer tomography (CBCT).
methodsNineteen definite sleep bruxers diagnosed by polysomnography and twenty asymptomatic non-bruxers matched by age, gender, and education level participated in this study. After obtaining MRI and CBCT images of all TMJs of the subjects, evaluation and measurement were conducted, respectively. The analyzed parameters included disc position, disc configuration, joint effusion (JE), joint space or condyle position, and condylar bony changes.
resultsOf the 38 joints in the study group, disc deformity and disc displacement of TMJs were both 57.9% when the mouth was closed, and 76.3% showed condylar bony changes, while when the mouth was open, 82% of all TMJs showed physiological biconcave discs. Comparison of joint space revealed that the anterior space was larger in the study group. There was no significant difference between the mild and the moderate to severe sleep bruxism subgroups in the changes of TMJ.
conclusionThe results demonstrated that a higher prevalence of disc deformity, disc displacement, JE, and condylar bony changes occurred in temporomandibular joints of sleep bruxers. These changes were not related to the severity of sleep bruxism.
