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

Purpose: Parental divorce is one of the most common adverse events in childhood and can cause children emotional problems and influence their oral health. To explore differences in possible bruxism, state anxiety, coping and parenting styles between a group of divorced parents and a group of cohabiting parents. Patients and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, with data collected through self-report questionnaires filled in by 186 patients (8-16 years) and their parents. Children completed State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Self-Report Coping Measure (SRCM) and Parenting Style Scale. The Self-Reported Bruxism Questionnaire (SBQ) was completed by their parents. Results: The results showed significant differences were seen between the group of divorced parents (n=93) and the control group (n=93), with higher levels of state anxiety and possible bruxism in the group of children of divorced parents. In addition, in terms of coping strategies, externalisation and problem-solving deficits stood out. In terms of parenting style, autonomy promotion was higher. Additionally, possible bruxism was influenced by coping strategies (seeking social support), attachment-based parenting style and communication, behavioural control and state anxiety. Finally, it was found that high anxiety may act as a moderating variable in the relationship between divorced parents and possible bruxism. Conclusion: Children of divorced parents showed more possible bruxism, anxiety, coping and behavioural problems.
