EMG Indices in TMJ Disorder Patients: Insights From a Cross-Sectional Study.
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: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a major public health concern, with masticatory muscle pain being the most prevalent type. Recent studies have increasingly highlighted the use of surface electromyography (sEMG) as an effective diagnostic tool for identifying muscle dysfunctions associated with TMDs. The objective of this study was to compare the electrical activity of the muscles of mastication and correlate it with chewing disability and the severity of signs and symptoms of TMDs. Materials and Methods: A total of 28 individuals ( Results: This study revealed significant findings regarding chewing ability and the severity of signs and symptoms associated with TMDs via the ProTMD multipart II questionnaire. The VAS scores for TMDs and mouth opening were significantly different ( Conclusion: The sEMG protocol and questionnaire related to the chewing ability and severity of TMD are useful for evaluating patients with TMDs and their impact on the stomatognathic system.
