Synovial chondromatosis of the temporomandibular joint: a case report with an associated systematic review update of the literature.
Synthesis in Journal of oral & facial pain and headache, 2025. 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
backgroundThis study aims to report a case of synovial chondromatosis (SC) of the left temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and provide an update of a previous review published in 2010 by summarizing the last 15 years of literature on the topic.
methodsOn 07 July 2024, two of the authors independently performed a systematic search in the most relevant medical databases to identify all the English-language papers reporting cases of TMJ SC. After selecting the articles, the authors discussed their potential inclusion in the systematic review, and in case of disagreement, a third author was consulted.
resultsFrom the assessment of all four databases, 466 citations were retrieved. After the removal of the duplicates, 136 articles remained for evaluation. In the end, a total of 108 articles were selected for inclusion, reporting a total of 1046 cases of SC of the TMJ. The most frequently reported signs and symptoms were pain, reduced interincisal mouth opening, swelling, crepitus, and clicking.
conclusionsDespite the different surgical treatment options that were adopted, the recurrence rate remains low. From the present review, no evidence arises for a specific risk factor for TMJ SC. THE PROSPERO REGISTRATION: register number CRD42024568102.
