Association between oral lichen planus and sleep quality: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Medicina oral, patologia oral y cirugia bucal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis study aimed to determine the association between sleep quality and oral lichen planus (OLP). MATERIAL AND
methodsThe protocol was registered in PROSPERO. The inclusion criteria used in the literature search consisted of studies that investigated sleep quality in patients with OLP, without language or publication time restrictions. The outcome measures included sleep quality, expressed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and General Health Questionnaire scores. A search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, LILACS and Scopus. Another search in Google Scholar and manual search through the references as well were performed up to January 2024. Bias risk was determined using the JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist.
resultsFour observational case-control studies with a total of 1125 participants were identified. Mean age ranged between 40 and 65.2 years, and all participants were over 18 years old. In all studies, OLP patients had higher sleep disturbance scores than control groups (p<.05). Patients with erosive OLP type had higher mean scores for insomnia.
conclusionsEven though the results disclose an association between OLP and sleep disturbances, the evidence for such association is limited, because of the small number of studies published and their heterogeneity.
