Concomitant Headache and Its Association With Worse Psychological and Clinical Status 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
objectivesTo analyse clinical features and psychological status according to the presence of concomitant headache in a well-defined group of temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
methodsGraded Chronic Pain Scale and Symptom Checklist-90-Revision were applied to evaluate pain disability and psychological characteristics in a group of 793 TMD patients. The presence of generalised bodily symptoms, sleep disturbance, and general health status was collected. Clinical and psychological variables associated with concomitant headache were statistically identified.
resultsAmong the TMD patients, 290 reported headache (37%). Those with headache reported higher levels of TMD pain intensity (p = 0.005) and more frequently reported pain on palpation of the masticatory muscles (p = 0.031) and temporomandibular joint (p = 0.007). Also, clenching (p = 0.016), sleep disturbance (p < 0.001), and insomnia (p < 0.001) were more prevalent. Those with headache experienced pain in other body regions more frequently. Higher levels of somatization (p < 0.001), depression (p = 0.045), anxiety (p = 0.005), and paranoid ideation (p = 0.022) were found in the headache group.
conclusionsTMD patients when reporting concomitant headache showed higher pain levels, widespread pain, and higher levels of psychological distress. The results indicate the need to appropriately address the issue of headache in TMD patients with an emphasis on psychological issues to improve overall prognosis.
