Evaluation of Plasma Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide as a Biomarker for Painful Temporomandibular Disorder and Migraine.
Article in Journal of pain research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Objective: To assess associations of plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) with chronic temporomandibular disorder (TMD) myalgia/arthralgia or frequent/chronic migraine, alone and in combination, and to evaluate relations between the CGRP concentration and clinical, psychological, and somatosensory characteristics of participants. Methods: The cross-sectional study selected four groups of adult volunteers: healthy controls (HCs), TMD without migraine, migraine without TMD, and TMD with migraine. Each group comprised 20 participants, providing 94% power to detect statistically significant associations with CGRP concentration for either TMD or migraine. TMD and headache were classified according to the Diagnostic Criteria for TMD and the International Classification for Headache Disorders, 3rd edition, respectively. Plasma CGRP was quantified with a validated high-sensitivity electrochemiluminescent Meso Scale Discovery assay. Questionnaires and clinical examinations were used to evaluate characteristics of TMD, headache, psychological distress, and pressure pain sensitivity. Univariate regression models quantified associations of the CGRP concentration with TMD, migraine, and their interaction. Univariate associations of the CGRP concentration with clinical, psychological, and pressure pain characteristics were also assessed. Results: Among 80 participants enrolled, neither TMD nor migraine was associated with plasma CGRP concentration ( Conclusion: In this well-powered study, interictal plasma concentration of CGRP was a poor biomarker for TMD and migraine.
