Exploring the Impact of Orthodontic Treatment on Temporomandibular Joint Health.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Currently, one of the most prevalent oral abnormalities is malocclusion. There is a rising percentage of patients who are willing to undertake orthodontic procedures. Aim: To evaluate the impact of orthodontic treatment on the morphology of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients with malocclusion associated with TMJ abnormality such as skeletal class II deep bite malocclusion using CBCT. Methods and Materials: In total, 80 patients who underwent orthodontic treatment for skeletal class II deep bite malocclusion over a duration of 3 years were included. Parameters of the morphology of the condyle and glenoid fossa on CBCT scan both before and after orthodontic therapy were measured. Results: The maximum cross-sectional area of the condyle decreased from 99.84 ± 18.89 mm Conclusion: Orthodontic treatment is significantly correlated with improvement in TMJ health in patients of malocclusion.
