Obstructive sleep apnea: a follow-up program in its relation to temporomandibular joint disorder, sleep bruxism and orofacial pain.
Article in BMC oral health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
objectiveTo evaluate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) morphology, tooth wear condition, orofacial pain through a follow-up program. MATERIALS AND
methodsSeventy one OSA patients were divided into three groups according to their (apnea hypopnea index) AHI: mild group (n = 23), moderate group (n = 24), and severe group (n = 24). All patients had OSA therapies around six months after confirm the diagnosis of OSA. The tooth wear score and orofacial pain condition of all patients were recorded via clinical examination. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were also taken when confirm the diagnosis of OSA (T
resultsIn mild group, there was no difference in all clinical symptoms and TMJ morphology among the three time points. Both in moderate and severe group, the condylar volume, superficial area, wear score, visual analogue scales (VAS), and R value (indicating condyle position) displayed significant differences among the three time points (P < 0.05). From T
conclusionModerate to severe OSA will aggravate orofacial pain and tooth wear, affect TMJ volume and superficial area, even change the location of condyles. Appropriate OSA therapies may be effective ways to alleviate these adverse effects in long-term.
