Electromyographic evaluation of masseteric activity during maximum opening in patients with temporomandibular disorders and limited mouth opening.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
This study aimed to identify the differences in masseteric activity during maximum mouth opening among healthy volunteers, patients with limited mouth opening (LMO) and myofascial pain, and patients with LMO and disc displacement. Thirty-seven patients with temporomandibular disorders and LMO (< 37 mm) and 27 healthy volunteers participated in this study. Patients were categorized into three groups based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and clinical symptoms: disc displacement (DD), disc displacement with myofascial pain (DD + M), and myofascial pain (M). The DD group included pain-free disc patients with displacement patients, excluding those with myofascial pain or arthralgia. After a five-minute relaxation period, the participants were instructed to perform maximum opening (O
