Temporomandibular disorders-related symptoms and associated comorbidities in children and adolescents: A BigMouth data repository cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundThe systemic and psychosocial associations of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in youth are poorly defined. This study assessed distribution of TMD-related symptoms by age and sex and examined associations with comorbidities in children and adolescents from multiple academic centers.
methodsData from BigMouth repository (01/2014-05/2025) included 5-to-17-year-old children and adolescents with completed TMD-related intake items. Painful TMD was defined as self-reported pain upon chewing/talking/jaw use. Symptom distribution was compared by age and sex; associations with comorbidities were assessed using chi-square and multivariable logistic regression.
resultsAmong 13,678 children and adolescents (12.9±3.5 years, 53.1% female), common symptoms included grinding (13.1%), headaches (11.3%), and temporomandibular joint noises (8.2%). Adolescents (10-17 years) more frequently reported painful TMD (4.2% vs. 2.7%,
conclusionsTMD symptoms increase during adolescence. Painful TMD is associated with somatic and psychological comorbidities, highlighting need for early identification and targeted intervention.
