Biomechanical effects of joint disc perforation on the temporomandibular joint: a 3D finite element study.
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 10 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
backgroundDisc perforation (DP) is a severe type of Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). DP may induce changes in the internal stresses of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Herein, this study attempts to investigate the biomechanical effects of different positions and sizes of DP on the TMJ using a biomechanical approach, to explore the mechanical pathogenesis of TMD.
methodsEleven three-dimensional finite element (FE)models of the TMJ were constructed based on CBCT imaging files of a patient with DP on the left side. These models included the disc with anterior displacement and discs with different locations and sizes of perforations on the affected disc. FE methods were conducted on these models.
resultsAnterior displacement of the disc leads to a significant increase in the maxim von Mises stress (MVMS) in both TMJs, with the affected side exhibiting a more pronounced effect. DP occurring at the posterior band and the junction between the disc and the bilaminar region has a greater impact on the MVMS of both TMJs compared to perforations at other locations. As the size of the perforation increases, both sides of the TMJs exhibit an increase in the magnitude of MVMS.
conclusionsUnilateral disc anterior displacement results in an increased stress on both TMJs. Unilateral DP further affects the stress on both sides of the TMJs. TMD is a progressive condition, and timely intervention is necessary in the early stages to prevent the worsening of the condition.
