1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Sleep bruxism is a masticatory muscle activity that occurs during sleep and presents as rhythmic or non-rhythmic activities commonly seen in healthy individuals but might also represent movement or sleep disorders. Given that the clinical presentations of sleep bruxism are relevant to dentistry, the early detection of sleep bruxism is of particular interest to dentists. However, the gold standard for sleep bruxism diagnosis involves polysomnography with audio-visual recording - a resource intensive and mostly inaccessible diagnostic method. As such, ambulatory devices to detect sleep bruxism have the potential to address the limitations of polysomnography. This review of the literature was carried out up until December 2024 on commercially available ambulatory devices in detecting sleep bruxism. Select ambulatory devices appear promising as a preliminary screening tool for sleep bruxism both in clinical practice and for domestic use.
