Investigation of temporomandibular dysfunction in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema.
Observational study in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06669910 (Investıgatıon of Temporomandıbular Dysfunctıon in Patıents Wıth Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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

Abstract
purposeThis study aims to investigate temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) in patients with breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) and to determine the relationship between TMD severity and posture, range of motion (ROM), psychological status, and lymphedema (LE).
methodsSociodemographic characteristics and previous treatments of 38 individuals included in the study were recorded. The Craniomandibular Dysfunction Index for Clinical (CMDIC) and visual analog scale (VAS) evaluated TMD symptoms, signs, and pain. Patients were divided into three groups: mild, moderate, and advanced TMD, according to CMDIC results. LE stages of the patients were recorded. The severity of LE, range of motion (ROM), anxiety and depression, and posture analysis were evaluated with circumference measurement, goniometer, Turkish version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD), photogrammetric assessment method, and inclinometer, respectively.
resultsDifferent degrees of TMD were detected in all patients. There was a significant difference between the groups regarding post-op period duration, work status, posture, and ROM (p < 0.05). The groups' LE stage, LE severity, and scores of HAD and VAS were similar (p > 0.05). DISCUSSION: According to the results of this study, TMD is highly prevalent in BCRL patients. It is necessary to monitor TMD and its impact on the range of motion and posture. The post-op period duration can determine the development of TMD in this patient group.
