Obstructive sleep apnoea, sleep bruxism and gastroesophageal reflux - mutually interacting conditions? A literature review.
Review in Australian dental journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The purpose of the present manuscript is to provide an overview for researchers and clinicians summarizing the knowledge concerning the relationship between some of the main sleep-related conditions of dental interest: sleep bruxism (SB), obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Starting with the discussion of the evolving current knowledge on SB, the interconnections are discussed. Most of the available literature focused on the possible relationship between OSA and SB, but a clear pathophysiological connection or temporal relationship has not been identified. Despite the paucity of data on the possible commonalities, SB, OSA and GERD constitute a complex network of conditions that may affect the clinical and research dental practice, and they are rarely found in isolation. In this scenario, the key role of dental practitioners as sentinel in the case of these sleep-related conditions is important, thanks to their ability and the knowledge to identify signs, symptoms and risk factors that are signs of ongoing sleep-related conditions. Thus, dental practitioners are recommended to view bruxism as a potential gateway to medicine.
