Sleep bruxism is highly prevalent in adults with obstructive sleep apnea: a large-scale polysomnographic study.

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
STUDY
objectivesThe aim was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of sleep bruxism (SB) and to investigate the relationships between SB episodes, arousals, and respiratory events in adults with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
methodsThis prospective study included 914 adults with OSA (305 females, 609 males; age = 53 years [interquartile range = 17]; apnea-hypopnea index = 13.9 events/h [interquartile range = 21]). The diagnosis of SB was made when the rhythmic masticatory muscle activity (RMMA) index was at least 2 episodes/h of sleep based on a full polysomnographic recording. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify risk factors for SB. Network analysis was performed to determine the relations between RMMA, respiratory event, sleep arousal, and other factors. Further, the percentage of RMMA time-related to arousal was calculated.
resultsThe prevalence of SB in adults with OSA was 49.7%. Male sex, lower body mass index, and higher percentage of N1 sleep increased the odds of having SB (odds ratios = 1.425, 0.951, and 1.032, respectively; all
conclusionsNearly half of adults with OSA have comorbid SB. Male sex, lower body mass index, and a higher percentage of light sleep increase the risk of having SB. Although RMMAs do not directly correlate with respiratory events and arousals, most RMMAs are time-related to arousals in adults with OSA. CLINICAL
