1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the dimensional and positional osseous features of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion, female patients without temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), and those with TMDs presenting as disc displacement with/without reduction (DDR/DDWR). Methods: Adult patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion and average vertical facial pattern (Mandibular plane inclination = 37 ± 5°) were categorized into the TMD group comprising patients with DDR/DDWR and the non-TMD group. Three-dimensional standardized TMJ analysis was performed using cone-beam computed tomography, which included assessments of the mandibular fossa (MF), mandibular condyle, TMJ spaces, and vertical and anteroposterior intra-joint condylar positions. Results: The MF location in the DDR/DDWR group was significantly more superior ( Conclusions: The positional and dimensional osseous characteristics of the TMJ differed significantly between patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion without TMDs and those with DDR or DDWR.
