Damon technique for orthodontic treatment of a patient with temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
Article in Journal of orthodontic science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The Damon system is an effective, less-invasive treatment that provides orthodontic dentists with an adequate biomechanical process, offering a reduction in treatment time; patients with temporomandibular dysfunction present even greater complexity in their clinical picture, relying on clinical and radiographic differential diagnoses to facilitate a good prognosis. The objective was to apply the orthodontic treatment (Damon technique) to stabilize patients with temporomandibular dysfunction. The patient with premature loss of the first lower molars (36 and 46) experienced pathological alterations in the temporomandibular joints (TMJs) (bilaterally). The diagnosis was reached using the clinical history of temporomandibular joint disorders (diagnostic criteria) axis II: moderate pain (VAS) in muscles, moderate stress (Hamilton 51/60), lateral and panoramic cephalic radiographs, magnetic resonance imaging of bilateral TMJ, cephalometry, photographs, and models. Treatment with the Damon system is recommended to recover optimal functional occlusion in a short period, followed by referral for oral rehabilitation as an adjunct to the treatment plan. The verticalization of the second molars, maximum optimal intercuspidation, appropriate overbite and overjet, and pain control in the TMJ were evaluated. Stabilization of the disc condyle complex by eliminating interference and premature points of contact providing cervical/cranio/mandibular balance.
