Analysis of Types of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders in Suburban Areas: An Epidemiological 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. 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
Background: Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMDs) are a group of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), masticatory muscles, and associated structures. Suburban populations often experience barriers to healthcare access, potentially influencing TMD prevalence and management. Objective: To analyze the prevalence and types of TMDs in suburban areas, identify associated risk factors, and assess the patterns of healthcare-seeking behavior among affected individuals. Methods: This cross-sectional epidemiological research was conducted in suburban regions over six months. A total of 500 individuals aged 18-65 years were evaluated using the "Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD)". Data on demographics, clinical presentations, and risk factors were collected and analyzed. Results: The prevalence of TMDs was 23.6%. Among the affected individuals, myofascial pain (42.4%) was the most common type, followed by internal derangements (35.2%) and degenerative joint diseases (22.4%). Female participants showed a significantly higher prevalence (64.8%). Key risk factors included bruxism, stress, and malocclusion. Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for targeted awareness and healthcare initiatives in suburban areas to address TMDs effectively. Early identification and management of modifiable risk factors can improve outcomes.
