Association between waking-state oral parafunctional behaviours and bio-psychosocial characteristics.
Article in Journal of oral rehabilitation, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The term 'oral parafunctional behaviours' encompasses behaviours that are different from those required for, or associated with, physiological functional needs such as mastication, communication, swallowing or breathing. Previous reports have associated waking-state oral parafunctional behaviours with biopsychosocial characteristics such as female gender, presence of psychological symptoms, intensity of pain and pain-related temporomandibular disorders (TMD) diagnosis. However, the findings have been inconsistent, possibly due to methodological limitations and differences. In the present investigation, we aim to determine whether any association is present between waking-state oral parafunctional behaviours and biopsychosocial characteristics. All participants were investigated using a set of standardised and validated self-reporting questionnaires and diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders (DC/TMD) examination protocol for clinical characterisation. Univariate analysis found that self-reported waking-state oral parafunctional behaviours were statistically significantly associated with presence of anxiety, depression and physical symptoms, pain intensity and TMD diagnosis. However, forward model multiple linear regression analysis indicated that only self-reported presence of physical and depression symptoms could explain statistically significant portions of the variance in self-reported waking-state oral parafunctional behaviours.
