Prevalence of Temporomandibular Disorders in Obstructive Sleep Apnea Patients and Relationship Between Temporomandibular Disorder Phenotypes and Severity of Sleep Apnea: An Observational Study.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a chronic condition characterized by intermittent upper airway obstruction during sleep. Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), often linked with chronic pain and disturbed sleep, may coexist with OSA, but the association remains unclear. Aim: To assess the prevalence of TMD in patients diagnosed with OSA and evaluate the relationship between TMD phenotypes and severity of sleep apnea. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study was conducted among 70 OSA-diagnosed individuals using the ApneaLink Air device. TMD was assessed through RDC/TMD clinical criteria. Associations were evaluated with statistical significance set at Results: TMD signs/symptoms were found in 8.6% of OSA patients, with myofascial pain being the predominant phenotype. No significant association was observed between TMD phenotype and OSA severity ( Conclusion: TMDs are present in a subset of OSA patients, predominantly as muscle disorders. However, the relationship between TMD phenotypes and OSA severity is inconclusive, necessitating further longitudinal research.
