Evaluation of Condylar Space Measurements before and after Prosthetic Rehabilitation in a Defined Cohort using Cone-beam Computed Tomography: A Prospective, Preliminary, Interventional Study.
Article in Journal of medical physics. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and Aim: The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) play a crucial role in maintaining functional harmony of the stomatognathic system. Loss of natural dentition and the resulting alteration in mandibular positioning can lead to imbalances in the TMJs, contributing to temporomandibular disorders. The present study aimed to assess the relationship between posterior edentulousness and condylar space measurements before and after prosthetic rehabilitation in a defined cohort using cone-beam computed tomography. Materials and Methods: A prospective, preliminary, interventional study was conducted on 20 edentulous subjects, aged 50-65 years, presenting with complete edentulism in the maxilla and Kennedy's Class I edentulism in the mandible, while the spatial relationship of the condyles within TMJs was assessed pre- and post-rehabilitation, and the results obtained were statistically analyzed. Results: The findings of the present study indicated that prosthetic intervention did not carry a significant impact on the anterior and superior joint spaces on the right side, while it led to a significant increase in the posterior joint space on the right side ( Conclusions: The results revealed that prosthetic intervention led to notable changes in the condylar positioning, emphasizing the critical interrelationship between occlusion and TMJ dynamics. The study supports the concept that comprehensive prosthodontic care should not only aim to restore function and esthetics but also consider the biomechanical impact it carries on the health of the TMJs.
