Supragingival Microbiota Alterations in Individuals With Sleep Bruxism: A Pilot Study.
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 1 paper, 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
backgroundSleep bruxism (SB) is an oral behaviour associated to jaw clenching or grinding of the teeth. Its aetiology is most likely multifactorial; however, recent studies suggested that SB is associated with activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Dysbiosis of the oral microbiota is linked to oral and systemic diseases. The relationship between supragingival microbiota and SB remains unexplored.
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the association between SB and the composition of the supragingival microbiota.
methodsNineteen metabolically and orally healthy subjects were recruited. After SB diagnosis, supragingival microbiota samples were collected. Microbial DNA was extracted and subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Amplicon sequence variant (ASV) analysis method was used to correlate the composition of supragingival microbiota with SB.
resultsBacterial diversity decreased in the SB group. ASV_200 (Actinomyces) and ASV_94 (Morococcus) were enriched in the SB individuals, whereas ASV_405 (Morococcus) was enriched in the controls. The role of the decreased bacterial diversity as well as the enrichment of specific ASV in the mechanism explaining the genesis of SB remain to be determined.
conclusionThe differences in the composition of the supragingival microbiota may lead to the assessment of important questions in the fields of oral microbiota composition and sleep medicine.
