Associations between insomnia symptoms and self-reported oral health in 59370 adults.

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
objectivesThe associations between insomnia symptoms and oral health have not been studied. We examined the relationships between insomnia symptoms and oral health in a large representative sample of the middle-aged and older adult Indian population.
methods59,370 Indian adults aged ≥ 45 years were included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted to evaluate the associations of insomnia symptoms with tooth loss, dental cavities, and periodontal disease in the whole sample and within different age subgroups.
resultsIndividuals reporting insomnia symptoms were more likely to show higher prevalence rates of tooth loss (8.4%), dental cavities (22.6%), and periodontal disease (20.9%) than those without insomnia symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that there were significant associations of insomnia symptoms with tooth loss (OR: 1.20, CI: 1.12-1.29), dental cavity (OR: 1.15, CI: 1.10-1.21), and periodontal disease (OR: 1.70, CI: 1.61-1.78) independent of potential cofounders. A significant moderation effect by age was observed between insomnia symptoms and oral health conditions.
conclusionsInsomnia symptoms were associated with higher prevalence rates of tooth loss, dental cavities, and periodontal disease among middle-aged and elderly adults in India. These associations varied across different age groups. In the management of oral health, the potential adverse impact of insomnia symptoms should be closely monitored.
