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
purposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the potential association between common nasal deformities (ND) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) according to the diagnostic criteria (DC/TMD). PATIENTS AND
methodsEnrolled subjects were initially screened using the DC/TMD and then evaluated by an otorhinolaryngologist (ENT specialist) for the presence of ND, relative severity of these, as well as the signs and symptoms. The identified ND were categorized into four major groups: nasal septal deviation (NSD), inferior turbinate hypertrophy (ITH), a combination of both NSD and ITH, and other deformities. The relationships between variables and differences between groups were analyzed using Χ
resultsThe study population comprised 368 participants (185 females and 183 males). A total of 98 (26.7%) patients were diagnosed with TMD, while 152 (41.3%) participants had one or more types of ND. The presence of ND was associated with an increased incidence of intra-articular disorders (IAD; p = 0.05) and joint clicking (p = 0.027). Nasal signs and symptoms were significantly associated with clicking (p = 0.025). NSD was associated with a 1.77 increase in the odds of having a TMD diagnosis (p = 0.020), a 2.45 increase in the odds of having IAD (p = 0.005), and a 1.62 increase in the odds of having joint clicking (p = 0.044).
conclusionThe presence of ND, especially NSD, appears to be associated with TMD, most notably with IAD, in addition to joint clicking. Therefore, individuals with ND should be carefully screened for TMD and referred for further evaluation whenever indicated. Further studies are required to validate these findings.
