Delayed Diagnosis of Temporomandibular Joint Dislocation in Severe Stroke Patients.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
A 79-year-old woman with a history of left cerebral infarction developed altered consciousness and left hemiplegia. CT of the head revealed a putaminal hemorrhage. She underwent tracheal intubation followed by a tracheostomy for long-term airway management. Despite improved consciousness, the patient continued to experience dysphagia and was fed via a nasal tube. Subsequent axial CT and 3D CT scans revealed an empty glenoid fossa in both temporomandibular joints (TMJs) with the condyles positioned anteriorly, consistent with chronic bilateral anterior TMJ dislocation. After an unsuccessful attempt at manual reduction, closed manual reduction was successfully performed under general anesthesia with muscle relaxants, allowing the patient to resume oral feeding. This case underscores the importance of considering TMJ dislocation in stroke patients with persistent dysphagia. Early diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial for improving patient outcomes in such cases.
