A Further Introduction to Dental Sleep Medicine.
Article in Nature and science of sleep, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Dental sleep medicine traditionally focuses on sleep-related breathing disorders, such as snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. However, everyday practice shows that also other sleep disorders touch on dentistry, including sleep-related orofacial pain, xerostomia, hypersalivation, gastroesophageal reflux disease and bruxism. A new definition, which covers all the diagnostic and treatment aspects of these disorders, has therefore been formulated for dental sleep medicine. This article describes why this development started and sketches the current state of affairs regarding the discipline of dental sleep medicine. The different dental sleep disorders are also described briefly, with special focus on the more remarkable associations between them.
