1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThis study aimed to determine, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) exams, whether chewing side preference (CSP) affects the anatomical parameters of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) in individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) of articular origin.

methodsA total of 106 CBCT exams were analyzed, divided into 56 exams of volunteers without a diagnosis of TMD (Control Group) and 50 exams from individuals diagnosed with TMD of joint origin (Experimental Group). The following parameters were analyzed: the axial and paracoronal shapes of the condyles, the degree of translation and rotation of the condyles, the volume of the condyles, and the height and inclination of the articular tubercles. Generalized estimation equations (GEE) were employed, and a significance level of 5% was set.

resultsOnly one significant interaction was observed between the two groups related to the axial shape of the condyle (p value < 0.001).

conclusionCSP did not influence the dynamic parameters of the TMJ in patients with TMD of articular origin.
