Postural Analysis in Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJD) Patients: Correlation With Head and Neck Positioning.
Article in International journal of dentistry, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: The relationship between head-neck posture and temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) remains a topic of controversy, with existing studies reporting inconsistent findings. This study aimed to investigate this relationship by comparing specific postural angles in TMJD patients and healthy controls. Materials and Methods: A case-control study included 65 TMJD patients and 65 healthy controls (aged 18-50), analyzing head positioning angles (craniohorizontal angle [CHA] and craniovertebral Angle [CVA]) using anatomical markers in photographs processed with Adobe Photoshop. Data were analyzed using SPSS, employing Results: The final analyzed sample consisted of 43 TMJD patients and 40 controls after applying inclusion/exclusion criteria and ensuring data completeness. The TMJD group exhibited significantly lower mean CVA (41.1° ± 6.61°) compared to controls (56.83° ± 4.33°; Conclusion: These findings suggest that postural assessment of the CVA and the clinical management of parafunctional habits like bruxism and clenching should be integrated into the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of patients with TMJD.
