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

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are a common cause of facial pain and their association with malocclusion in orthodontic patients remains inadequately explored. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the correlation between malocclusion, TMJ dysfunction and facial pain in 100 orthodontic patients. The results revealed that Class II and Class III malocclusions were significantly associated with more severe TMJ dysfunction and pain. Radiological findings such as condyle deformities, joint space narrowing and disc displacement were observed in the majority of patients. This study advances our knowledge by highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and multi- modal imaging in managing TMJ disorders in orthodontic populations.
