Association between bruxism and the use of aligners in orthodontics.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between bruxism and the use of Invisalign® transparent aligners, and to determine if they increase or decrease the action of bruxing with its signs and symptoms. Material and Methods: A sample of 100 adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with transparent Invisalign® aligners was studied, analyzing signs and symptoms of bruxism by personal survey together with a clinical examination on 3 occasions: Pre-treatment, at 3 months of treatment and at 6 months of treatment. Results: There is a statistically significant difference between the amount of bruxism and the use of Invisalign® type aligners, for all the variables analyzed except in the analysis of the increase in headaches. Conclusions: The frequency of bruxism does not depend on sex, but is related to age groups, the most affected being 28-36 years old patients. Statistically significant differences have been observed (
