Psychosocial and behavioral factors linked to low oral health related quality of life in young Chinese temporomandibular disorder patients.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
This cross-sectional study investigated the psychosocial and behavioral characteristics of young Chinese Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) patients, relationships between pain intensity, depression, anxiety, oral behaviors, jaw function, and Oral Health-related Quality of Life (OHRQoL), as well as factors contributing to low OHRQoL. Youths aged 15 to 24 years were enrolled at a tertiary dental hospital. Participants were evaluated using the Diagnostic Criteria for TMDs Axis I protocol and Axis II measures, including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, General Anxiety-7, Oral Behaviors Checklist, and Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-8. Pain intensity and OHRQoL were appraised with a visual analog scale (VAS) and the Oral Health Impact Profile for TMDs (OHIP-TMDs). Chi-square/non-parametric tests and logistic regression were employed for statistical analyses (α = 0.05). Youths comprised 37.2% of all TMD patients seen during the study period. Of the 398 participants (75.9% female), 34.9%, 17.8%, and 47.2% were diagnosed with intra-articular (IT), pain-related (PT), and combined (CT) TMDs, respectively. Young adults (20-24 years) exhibited significantly greater depression, anxiety, sleeping-state oral activity, and lower OHRQoL (p < 0.001-0.007) compared to older adolescents (15-19 years). Significant differences were observed in pain intensity, depression, anxiety, waking-state non-functional activity, jaw functional limitation, and OHRQoL (p < 0.001-0.035) among individuals with IT, PT, and CT. OHRQoL was moderately correlated with depression, anxiety, and jaw functional limitation (r
