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

Objective: To describe one-year clinical and imaging outcomes in patients with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJO) who received a standardized, phased, multimodal, non-invasive management protocol. Methodology: An exploratory retrospective, non-concurrent cohort study was conducted using the records of 78 consecutive eligible patients with TMJO. Seventy patients completed the one-year evaluation. The predefined eligibility range included adolescents aged 13-19 years and adults aged 20-65 years; the observed age range in the final sample was 13-62 years. Current TMJ-related pain intensity was self-reported by each patient using a 0-10 visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline and at one year. CT and MRI findings, appointment attendance, and self-reported compliance with treatment recommendations were also recorded. Psycho-behavioral status was assessed at baseline using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in patients who were not receiving psychological or psychiatric treatment.Data were analyzed descriptively and compared using Wilcoxon tests ( Results: Seventy of 78 patients completed follow-up. Mean patient-reported pain decreased from 4.41 ± 2.58 at baseline to 0.61 ± 1.28 at one year ( Conclusion: In this exploratory retrospective cohort, patients receiving multimodal non-invasive management showed substantial reductions in patient-reported pain over one year.
