1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Arthrocentesis has emerged as a well-established minimally invasive procedure for temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA). Conservative therapies often provide limited and short-term symptomatic relief. Therefore it is of interest to assess the clinical efficacy of arthrocentesis combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in reducing pain and recovering mandibular function in patients with TMJ osteoarthritis. Hence, total 38 patients diagnosed with TMJ-OA underwent arthrocentesis followed by intra-articular injection of autologous PRP. Clinical outcomes assessed included pain intensity using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and maximum mouth opening at 1, 3 and 6 months. Arthrocentesis combined with PRP provides sustained pain relief and functional improvement in TMJ-OA.
