Contribution of Sympathetic Sensory Coupling to Craniofacial Nociception.
Review in Orthodontics & craniofacial research, 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
Stress and anxiety are associated with increased pain intensity in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) patients. It is possible that this association is due to a direct interaction between the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. This narrative review examines evidence for a potential sympathetic sensory interaction in deep craniofacial tissues and the trigeminal ganglion. Research articles were identified using PubMed with the mesh terms adrenergic, ganglion neuron, masseter, sensory, signaling, temporomandibular and trigeminal and, subsequently, from the reference lists of those articles identified. The masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint are innervated by sympathetic efferent fibres from the superior cervical ganglion, which primarily innervates blood vessels. As trigeminal sensory afferent fibres are often found near blood vessels, the anatomical relationship for potential sympathetic sensory coupling is present in the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles. Trigeminal afferent fibres express α
