Preliminary insights into the association between the well-being spectrum and temporomandibular disorders.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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
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 Mendelian randomization (MR) study aims to explore the causal effect of well-being spectrum on temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). MATERIALS AND
methodsWe employed the largest available summary-level data from genome-wide association studies on the well-being spectrum and its four dimensions-life satisfaction, positive affect, neuroticism and depressive symptoms-along with data on TMDs. Univariable and multivariable MR analyses were used to assess causal effects and their independence from socioeconomic factors, including income, education, and occupation. Additionally, 125 potential mediators were examined for their role in the well-being spectrum-TMDs relationships using two-step MR.
resultsA higher well-being spectrum was causally linked to a reduced risk of TMDs, independent of income (OR: 3.39, 95% CI: 1.78-6.43, p < 0.001), education (OR: 3.52, 95% CI: 1.68-7.33, p = 0.001), and occupation (OR: 3.74, 95% CI: 2.12-6.53, p < 0.001). Similar patterns were observed for life satisfaction, positive affect, neuroticism and depressive symptoms. Daily smoking (mediation proportion: 12.9%) and HDL-C (1.8%) were identified as significant mediators. No evidence of pleiotropy was detected (p > 0.05).
conclusionsA higher well-being spectrum has a protective effect against TMDs, partially mediated by daily smoking and lipid metabolism. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These findings underscore the critical role of well-being spectrum in the management of TMDs. Among individuals with lower well-being, smokers and those with low HDL-C levels may be at an increased risk for TMDs, warranting focused monitoring and personalized preventive strategies.
