The neural substrates of bruxism: current knowledge and clinical implications.
Review in Frontiers in neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07336082 (Somatosensory Training Versus Exercise Therapy in Awake Bruxism), which is not on this map. Cited by 17 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.

Abstract
Bruxism is a complex orofacial behavior that can occur during sleep or wakefulness, characterized by the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, involving repetitive activity of the jaw muscles. Its etiology is multifactorial, influenced by genetic, psychological, physiological, and lifestyle factors. While the mild bruxism may not necessitate treatment, severe bruxism can lead to significant consequences, including tooth damage, jaw pain, fatigue, and headaches. The bruxism has been associated with medical conditions, such as stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, and various neurological disorders; however, the exact pathophysiology remains elusive. Although the central nervous system is strongly implicated in the development of bruxism, specific neural substrates have not yet been conclusively established. Furthermore, there is evidence to suggest that individuals with bruxism may exhibit neural plasticity, resulting in the establishment of distinct neural circuitry that control the jaw movements. The application of various neurophysiological techniques in both clinical and pre-clinical studies provides valuable insights into the neural mechanisms underlying bruxism. This review aims to comprehensively examine the current literature on the neural pathways involved in bruxism, with the goal of improving the clinical approach and therapeutics for this condition. A deeper understanding of the neural circuitry controlling bruxism holds the potential to advance future treatment approaches and improve the management of patients with bruxism.
