The Initial Treatment Plan Versus the Actually Performed Treatment of Patients With Temporomandibular Disorders in the First 6 Months After the Initial Visit.
Article in Journal of oral rehabilitation, 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
backgroundTemporomandibular disorders (TMD) can impact on daily life, and are therefore important to treat with a fitting therapy. However, the factors that may influence the received treatment remain unknown.
objectivesTo investigate the deviation between the indicated and received TMD treatment, and to identify patient and clinician characteristics that could influence the received treatment and the deviation from indicated treatment.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study collected data on the indicated and received treatment of 140 TMD patients. The treatment modalities were counselling, occlusal appliance (OA), physical therapy, psychological treatment, contingent electrical stimulation, ecological momentary assessment and medication. Potential predictors for receiving treatment and deviation from indicated treatment included patient-related factors such as TMD diagnosis, bruxism, psychosocial factors and clinician-related factors such as clinician's specialty level and experience.
resultsA good to perfect agreement between indicated and received treatments was observed for all treatment (84.3%-100%), except psychological treatment (66.4%). Received OA was associated with having a pain diagnosis (OR [95% CI] = 2.596 [1.189, 5.669], p = 0.017). In addition, received physical therapy was significantly associated with a pain diagnosis (OR [95% CI] = 3.876 [1.401, 10.721], p = 0.009), awake bruxism (OR [95% CI] = 1.730 (1.112, 2.690), p = 0.015) and clinician's level-being staff (OR [95% CI] = 6.068 [1.729, 20.553], p = 0.016). Received psychological therapy was significantly associated with a pain diagnosis (OR [95% CI] = 4.013 [1.077, 14.951], p = 0.038), sleep bruxism (OR [95% CI] = 1.381 [1.041, 1.830], p = 0.025), and physical symptoms (OR [95% CI] = 2.578 [1.561, 4.259], p < 0.001). No significant predictors were found for deviation.
conclusionReceiving TMD treatment was associated with both patient-related factors-such as a TMD diagnosis, bruxism and physical symptoms-and clinician-related factors, such as the clinician's level of experience.
