Effect of Gum Chewing Training on Masseter Muscle Oxygen Dynamics.
Trial report in Advances in experimental medicine and biology, 2024. 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
This study aimed to clarify the effect of 1 month of gum chewing (GCh) training on masseter muscle oxygen dynamics and determine its effectiveness in improving muscle endurance and fatigue. A total of 16 healthy adult subjects were included in this study. The subjects were randomly assigned to two groups: control and training groups (eight subjects each). GCh training using prototype gum of moderate hardness was performed for 10 min (5 min for each side) three times a day before each meal for 30 days. Clenching effects were evaluated before and after interventions. Masseter muscle oxygen dynamics were measured using spatially resolved near-infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, masseter muscle fatigue was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). After training, a significant increase was observed in total haemoglobin and oxygenated haemoglobin during clenching, and the 1/2 recovery time was significantly shortened. The changes in the VAS score showed a decreasing trend after training. In conclusion, 1 month of GCh training changed masseter oxygen dynamics during clenching and recovery and improved muscle aerobic capacity.
