Therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and health education program for adolescents with temporomandibular disorders: face-to-face and online multimodal rehabilitation protocol for a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Article in Trials, 2025. 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
backgroundMultimodal rehabilitation has shown good results in adults with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), but there is still doubt regarding the protocol's ideal format (face-to-face or online), and its effectiveness among adolescents. The purpose of this study is to describe a randomized clinical trial protocol of face-to-face and online multimodal rehabilitation, in adolescents with TMD, and to determine its effects on pain, peripheral oxygenation of the masseter muscle, and mandibular range of motion, kinesiophobia and parafunction.
methodsA randomized, controlled clinical trial, blinded to statistical analyses, will be carried out, involving 26 adolescents, diagnosed with TMD. After randomization, the participants will be allocated into two groups: (1) telerehabilitation and (2) face-to-face treatment groups. Each group will undergo an initial assessment, followed by three treatment sessions, reassessment, and follow-up. Appointments and reassessments will be face-to-face, with instruments validated and adapted for adolescent age groups. The intervention protocol also aims at practicality, ease of execution, and strategies for the patient to easily self-manage and perform independently, adapted for face-to-face or online formats. The Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders, physical and psychosocial aspects, algometry, near-infrared spectroscopy, and the Tampa scale for kinesiophobia will be used to assess the outcomes. DISCUSSION: It is expected that this study will contribute to online and face-to-face assessments and demonstrate the differences in the practice of rehabilitation of adolescents with TMD. Data will be published after the study is completed, and if the benefits are proven, care modalities may be implemented.
