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

The primary aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and severity of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain in patients with cervical disc herniation. The secondary aim was to investigate the relationship between neck disability, neck pain, sociodemographic factors, TMD, and TMJ pain. The participants were divided based on their Neck Disability Index (NDI) score into those with no/mild (n = 26), or moderate/severe (n = 31) disability. The severity of TMD was assessed using the Fonseca Anamnestic Index, and TMJ pain was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale. Among participants with no/mild neck disability, 88.5% had TMD; in the moderate/severe group, all had TMD. Participants with moderate/severe neck disability demonstrated a higher level of TMD severity and TMJ pain than participants with no/mild disability. The NDI score and female gender were both associated with higher Fonseca Anamnestic Index scores, and these two factors explained 12.% of the variance. Furthermore, the NDI score, neck pain, and female gender were positively associated with higher TMJ pain, explaining 22.1.% of the variance. A high NDI score and female gender were associated with higher severity of TMD. Our study suggests that individuals with cervical disc herniation who present a high NDI score should also be assessed for TMD.
