Temporomandibular disorder prevalence in malocclusion patients: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Head & face medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectivesThis study investigated the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in patients with malocclusion through a systematic review and meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted up to November 15, 2024. Cross-sectional studies providing data on TMD prevalence among malocclusion patients were included. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. A random-effects model was used for meta-analysis, with subgroup and meta-regression analyses to explore heterogeneity. Sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate result robustness.
resultsThirty-two studies were included, showing an overall TMD prevalence of 43% (95% CI: 35%-50%; I
conclusionsThe prevalence of TMD in malocclusion patients was 43%, with higher rates in females, adults, and specific malocclusion types such as Class II, open bite, overjet, and crossbite. Variations in diagnostic criteria and malocclusion classification contributed to heterogeneity, emphasizing the need to consider individual patient characteristics when assessing TMD risk. Standardized diagnostic criteria, representative sampling, and multilingual search strategies are essential for future research to minimize bias and improve data reliability.
