Influence of Sleep and Wakefulness States and Physical Activity on Chronic Pain in Temporomandibular Disorders.
Article in Journal of oral rehabilitation, 2026. 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
backgroundChronic pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders is a common and costly social problem. However, studies investigating the direct relationship between sleep and physical activity and pain are insufficient, and the causal relationship between these factors remains unclear.
objectivesThis study aimed to clarify whether sleep conditions and physical activity influence the subjective intensity of chronic pain in patients with temporomandibular disorders.
methodsThe participants consisted of 15 females (mean age: 38.9 ± 10.1 years). Physical activity and total sleep time were evaluated using the Actigraph (AW2, AMI, USA). The recordings were carried out for 14 consecutive days. Pain intensity and subjective sleep quality were also evaluated using the Visual Analogue Scale for 14 consecutive days. The linear mixed-effects model and Mann-Whitney U-test were applied for statistical analyses.
resultsThe higher the subjective sleep quality the previous night, the lower the jaw pain the next day. The higher the physical activity on the previous day, the lower the jaw pain the next day. The higher the jaw pain on the previous day, the higher the jaw pain the next day.
conclusionsThe subjective intensity of jaw pain was affected by subjective sleep quality, physical activity, and jaw pain the previous day.
