Coronoidectomy for Alleviating Restricted Mouth Opening in Masticatory Muscle Tendon-Aponeurosis Hyperplasia: Integration With Genetic Mutation Analysis.
Article in Case reports in dentistry, 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
Masticatory muscle tendon-aponeurosis hyperplasia (MMTAH) is often misdiagnosed as temporomandibular joint disorders, hypertrophic masticatory muscles, or congenital maxillomandibular dysplasia due to overlapping clinical manifestations. This case study is aimed at elucidating a novel genetic association in MMTAH by reporting a patient with pathognomonic features, including chronic limited mouth opening, bilateral coronoid process elongation, tendon hyperplasia in the masseter and temporalis muscles, and concomitant fatty degeneration. Crucially, whole-exome sequencing of peripheral blood identified a heterozygous SYNE1 missense mutation (NM_182961.4:c.26359A>G, p.Met8787Val) in the proband. This variant, located in Exon 146 (Chr6:152122471), is an unreported variant at this locus and predicted pathogenic by in silico tools, suggesting its potential role in MMTAH pathogenesis. The study highlights the importance of genetic screening in atypical presentations to refine diagnosis and understand disease etiology.
