Impact of Habitual Snoring on Subjective Dental Esthetics in University Population.
Article in Journal of International Society of Preventive & Community Dentistry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
objectiveThe aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of snoring in the University population and to test the null hypothesis that there is no impact of habitual snoring on the self-perceived of dental esthetics. MATERIALS AND
methodsBerlin Questionnaire and esthetic component of the index of orthodontic treatment need was given to 700 students and employees aged 17-59 years (22 ± 4.5). Both snorers and nonsnorers were assessed for orthodontic treatment need. Chi-square and Student
resultsThe prevalence of snoring was 19.2% (male 11.8% and female 7.4%). Nodded off or fall asleep during driving a car or while waiting at least twice a month were reported in 46%. The prevalence of tiredness and fatigue after sleep from 3 to 4 times a week was 36.9% and during the working time was 33.6%. Based on the Berlin Questionnaire stratification for risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 8.2% were considered as a high-risk patient for OSA, (males: 3.8% and females: 4.4%). About 38.3% of the participants with habitual snoring have gone through orthodontic treatment, while only 28.5% of nonsnoring participant have done that. About 12.3% of snoring participant consider themselves in need of orthodontic treatment compared to 6.6% of a nonsnoring participant (
conclusionThe null hypothesis is rejected; snoring has an impact on the self-perceived of dental esthetics. Snoring participant seeks orthodontic treatment more than the nonsnoring participant in our University population.
