Exploring the association between orthodontic treatment and temporomandibular disorders in pediatric patient: A retrospective study.
Article in Journal of orthodontic science, 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
objectiveThis retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between orthodontic treatment and development of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in pediatric patients.
methodsThis study analyzed 122 pediatric patients (age 10-18 years) who underwent orthodontic treatment. The inclusion criteria included comprehensive orthodontic records and substantial clinical documentation, while the exclusion criteria targeted preexisting TMDs or syndromes affecting the temporomandibular joint. Demographic details, treatment characteristics, and radiographic analyses, including standardized cephalometric measurements, were recorded. Clinical records were systematically reviewed for signs and symptoms of TMD, with categorization based on TMD severity using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD).
resultsDemographic characteristics revealed a mean age of 14.2 years, with a sex distribution of 36.9% males and 63.1% females. Pain, clicking/popping sounds, and limited jaw movement were reported by 23.0%, 16.4%, and 12.3% of the patients, respectively. TMD severity classification showed that 73.8% had no symptoms, 20.5% had mild symptoms, 4.1% had moderate symptoms, and 1.6% had severe symptoms. Statistical analyses revealed a significant association between TMD symptoms and sex (
conclusionThis study provides insights into the complex relationship between orthodontic treatment and TMD development in pediatric patients. These findings suggest potential associations between treatment characteristics, cephalometric changes, and TMD symptoms.
