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
purposeTo investigate the differences in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics between anterior disc displacement with reduction(ADDWR) and anterior disc displacement without reduction (ADDWoR) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) by semi-quantitative analysis of the disc-condylar complex. Reliable imaging markers were selected to predict ADDWoR.
methodsThe risk factors of ADDWoR were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression methods, and the receiver operating curves(ROC) were plot to evaluate the diagnostic ability.
resultsThere were statistically significant differences in disc shape, displacement degree, condylar shape, bone change, position and joint effusion between the two groups(p<0.05). Univariate logistics showed that fold-curved articular disc, degree of ADD, condylar bone change, beak condyle, central condyle and effusion grades were all related factors in the diagnosis of ADDWoR. Multivariate logistic showed fold-curved articular disc, the degree of ADD and the grade of joint effusion were independent factors for the diagnosis of ADDWoR. The area under ROC curve for ADD-degree and joint effusion analysis for the prediction of ADDWoR was 0.909 and 0.745,respectively.
conclusionBased on semi-quantitative analysis of MRI signs of disc-condylar complex, it can effectively evaluate the influencing factors of ADDWoR and provide imaging reference for clinical disease prediction of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) patients.
