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

Background: Bruxism is a global oral disorder that can negatively affect oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Nonetheless, there are few studies regarding police officers. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of probable bruxism on quality of life among police officers and their relatives. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 243 police officers, and their relatives aged 18-70 years who attended the dental service of a Peruvian National Police Hospital. They were evaluated through a questionnaire of probable bruxism, including a clinical oral examination. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire was also used to determine the impact of OHRQoL. Univariate and bivariate statistical analyses were performed. In addition, multivariate analysis was performed via the statistical program STATA version 18. Results: The mean OHIP-14 score was 13.4 ± 8.0, and 48.6% of the participants had probable bruxism. Statistically significant differences were found in questionnaire domains such as physical pain ( Conclusions: Probable bruxism had a negative impact on the oral health-related quality of life of police officers and their relatives.
