Effect of Extracorporeal Shock Wave on IGF-1, TNF-α, and IL-1in Joint Fluid of Patients with Temporomandibular Joint Disorder Syndrome.
Article in Cell biochemistry and biophysics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
As a new therapeutic method, extracorporeal shock wave (ESW) has shown remarkable efficacy in the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome. Numerous studies have shown that it has the advantages of noninvasiveness, short treatment time, etc. It can effectively relieve pain and improve symptoms such as joint mobility and opening degree. In clinical practice, through accurate diagnosis and positioning of different patients, appropriate treatment parameters such as therapeutic transducer, frequency and pressure can be selected to significantly improve the efficacy. At the same time, follow-up evaluation after treatment, including temporomandibular joint disorder index and visual analogue score, is also helpful to fully understand the rehabilitation of patients. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) brings new hope to patients with temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome and has a broad application prospect.
