Pain and Biopsychosocial Features in Patients With Myogenous Temporomandibular Disorders: A Retrospective Study According to the DC/TMD Axis II.
Article in Oral diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesThis study aimed to search for a correlation between myogenous TMD diagnosis and Axis II assessment, and to identify the psychosocial predictors of high pain-related disability. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this retrospective study, myogenous TMD patients referring to a University Hospital were included. TMD symptoms were assessed by DC/TMD and validated screening tools for TMD pain. Psychosocial status and pain-related disability were assessed by means of the Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15), Jaw Functional Limitation Scale-20 (JFLS-20), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Graded Chronic Pain Scale Version 2.0 (GCPS).
resultsThe final cohort involved 73 TMD patients and 73 controls. The GCPS CPI and JFLS-20 global score were significantly different in TMD patients (all subtypes) compared to controls (all p < 0.001). GCPS CPI was significantly different in local myalgia compared to either myofascial pain or with referral (all p < 0.001). In terms of PHQ-15, no significant differences were reported in local myalgia compared to controls (p = 0.996). GAD-7 did not differ among groups (all p > 0.05).
conclusionsFindings from the present study revealed that myofascial pain patients reported significantly higher levels of pain intensity, functional limitations, and physical symptoms, compared to both local myalgia and control patients.
