Comparison between two different registration protocols for the count of sleep bruxism events in a sample of healthy individuals.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 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
objectivesThe aim of the present research is to compare, in a group of healthy young individuals, the number of sleep bruxism (SB) events with the use of two different electromyographic (EMG) devices, which adopt two different protocols for scoring the events. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study was performed on 10 individuals recruited at the University of Siena, Italy. Participants were asked to perform one night of sleep-time recording wearing simultaneously, in their home environment, two different EMG devices, the Bruxoff (Bruxoff
resultsAll the recruited participants completed the registrations at the first attempt without reporting any detachment of the electrodes. The Pearson test showed a strong correlation between the number of SB events scored by the two devices (r = 0.9613, p < 0.001).
conclusionsWithin the limitation of this study, our results suggest the existence of a strong correlation between the two different registration protocols for the registration of the number of SB events. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The present study suggest that clinicians can adopt easier and user-friendly protocols for the registration of sleep bruxism events, that do not necessarily require a pre-calibration of the device.
