[Research trends on botulinum toxin A in bruxism: a bibliometric analysis].
Review in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Bruxism is a multifactorial condition that causes orofacial pain, dental wear, and temporomandibular disorders. Botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) has emerged as a therapeutic alternative to reduce muscle hyperactivity. Objective: To analyze the scientific output on the use of BT-A in the treatment of bruxism through a bibliometric analysis. Materials and Methods: Publications indexed in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed between 1997 and 2025 were reviewed. Lotka's and Bradford's bibliometric laws were applied, along with co-authorship network and thematic co-occurrence analyses. Results: A total of 244 articles were identified. A total of 93.1% of authors had only one publication, and collaborations were mostly regional. The most productive journals focused on dentistry and maxillofacial surgery. Review articles and observational studies predominated, with a limited number of clinical trials. Thematic evolution revealed a shift from anatomical aspects to clinical efficacy, pain management, and sleep disorders. Conclusions: Although research on the use of BT-A for bruxism has increased in recent years, significant challenges remain, such as low international collaboration and limited clinical evidence. It is recommended to promote multicenter studies, standardize therapeutic protocols, and explore specific population subgroups to advance toward safer and more personalized treatments.
