RDC/TMD axis II criteria in defining temporomandibular disorders. a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC oral health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThis cross-sectional study analyzed patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) through the Research Diagnostic Criteria Axis II and compared the outcomes in patient groups separated according to the Okeson Classification. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 270 TMD patients (212 female, 58 male) admitted to the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery clinic at Ankara University. Following the Okeson classification, patients separated into four groups of osteoarthritis, internal derangement, myofascial pain, and local myalgia were evaluated with RDC/TMD Axis II form and also questioned about the usage of antidepressants and smoking habits. SPSS version 20 (IBM, Chicago, IL, USA) was employed for statistical analyses.
resultsWhile patients with myofascial pain had the highest rates of depression, somatization, usage of antidepressants, graded chronic pain, patients with internal derangement had the lowest rates of depression, somatization, and graded pain. Rates of smoking did not differ between the patient groups.
conclusionsDelineating the features of TMD patients by RDC/TMD Axis II in subgroups according to Okeson classification would improve understanding of the divergent pathogenesis of TMD and lead to optimizing future treatments.
