Women are worse off in developing and recovering from temporomandibular disorder symptoms.

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
Decision-making for temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) is reported being a clinical challenge, partly due to uncertainities in assessment of long-term prognosis. Therefore, our aim was to explore variations over time in TMD symptoms and possible sex or age differences. In this cohort study, data were prospectively collected 2010-2017 from the general population in Västerbotten, Northern Sweden. Adults were eligible if they had undergone at least two routine dental check-ups that included screening for TMDs (3Q/TMD) from which states were defined as absence or presence of TMD pain and/or jaw catching/locking. The rate of transitions was estimated between TMD states within a time span of one year. A total of 94,769 individuals were included (49.9% women) with 205,684 repeated visits and 9,006 state transitions recorded over the 8-year period. Compared to men, women had higher rates of transitions from no TMDs to any TMD symptoms. Furthermore, women had a lower rate of transition from TMD pain only to no TMDs. The finding of a poorer prognosis in women, as well as previously reported potential gender differences in pain perception and reporting, reinforces that gender differences should be accounted for in the treatment planning stage for patients with onset of TMDs.
