Comparison Between Ecological Momentary Assessment and Self-Report of Awake Bruxism Behaviours in a Group of Healthy Young Adults.
Article in Journal of oral rehabilitation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectiveThe aim of this investigation was to compare the self-reported frequency of awake bruxism (AB) behaviours by means of a validated single-observation point questionnaire (i.e., Oral Behaviour Checklist [OBC]) with the frequency reported in real-time with an Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) over 1 week. MATERIALS AND
methodsOne hundred healthy young adults took part in the study. The frequency of some activities belonging to the spectrum of AB behaviours (i.e., teeth contact, mandible bracing, teeth clenching, teeth grinding) was evaluated using the EMA approach with smartphone technology support over 1 week. The OBC questionnaire was used to evaluate the self-reported frequency of the same AB behaviours. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was adopted to test the correlation between the average score of each OBC question considered (i.e., teeth contact, mandible bracing, teeth clenching, teeth grinding) and the average frequency of the corresponding EMA item.
resultsStatistical analysis showed a weak-to-moderate level of correlation between the two different AB assessment methods. Mandible bracing showed the highest level of correlation, while teeth grinding had the lowest one.
conclusionsWhile the OBC represents a valid and easy-to-administer screening tool for evaluating bruxism behaviours, the EMA approach provides a more detailed real-time report on AB behaviours.
