A Prospective Clinical Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Intra-Articular Ozone Therapy for Internal Derangement of the Temporomandibular Joint.

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
Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) internal derangement (ID) is a prevalent disorder causing significant pain and dysfunction. Initial treatment typically involves conservative methods, with ozone gas injection emerging as a potential therapy. This study evaluates the efficacy of intra-articular ozone gas injection in treating TMJ ID. Methods: Twenty patients diagnosed with Wilkes stage II and III TMJ ID received ozone gas injections into the periarticular tissues and superior joint space. Maximal interincisal mouth opening and TMJ pain scores were assessed at 28 and 42 days post treatment. Results: There were significant improvements in maximal mouth opening and reductions in TMJ pain scores from baseline to the 42 Conclusion: Intra-articular ozone gas injection offers a minimally invasive, cost-effective treatment for TMJ ID, showing substantial benefits before considering more invasive procedures.
