Impact of chronic painful temporomandibular disorders on quality of life.
Article in Journal of oral & facial pain and headache, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) are pathologies based on multifactorial etiology and a biopsychosocial model, where anxiety becomes one of the most important psychological factors as it is the most frequent symptom presented in most of the population at some point in life. Taking into account the need for a multidisciplinary approach, we set out to evaluate the possible impact of orofacial pain on patients' quality of life. In this study, the sample population FROM the Medical School of the University of Coimbra (Portugal) was evaluated using two tools: Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorder (DC/TMD) and an adaptation of the West Haven-Yale Multidimensional Pain Inventory. Participants with Chronic Pain for more than three months and diagnosed with TMD were included in the research. The quality of life and pain intensity of participants with Chronic Orofacial Pain were assessed using questionnaires. Subsequently, statistical analysis were conducted. A total sample of 122 participants was selected. A statistically significant association was observed between an increase in pain intensity and a decrease in quality of life in three aspects we considered (daily activity, general mood and anxiety) and we demonstrated that pain intensity is significantly associated with a decrease in quality of life.
