Sleep disorders, behavioral aspects, general and oral health in children aged 6 to 10 years: structural equation modeling.
Article in Clinical oral investigations, 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
objectivesTo construct a structural model to identify the association between sleep disorders (SD), behavioral aspects, and general and oral health in children aged 6 to 10 years. MATERIALS &
methodsCross-sectional study with 516 schoolchildren aged 6 to 10 years and their parents/guardians. Data related to the child, socio-environmental factors, behavioral aspects, general health of the child, and sleep disorders of the child were collected. Through clinical dental examination, dental caries, dental trauma, and malocclusion were evaluated. The data were analyzed through structural equation modeling, using Mplus version 8.6.
resultsChildren whose primary caregiver was not their mother or father, who studied full-time, who had extensive carious lesions and recent dental pain were more likely to have SD. Children who consumed sugary snacks and drinks more than twice a day had a higher prevalence of extensive dental caries.
conclusionsStructural modeling indicated that the child's main caregiver, the period in which the child studies, and the presence of extensive carious lesions and dental pain were associated with SD. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Factors such as the primary caregiver, the period in which the child studies, the presence of extensive carious lesions, and dental pain were directly associated with childhood sleep disorders. These findings highlight the importance of integrated clinical strategies that consider both oral health and the family and educational contexts, aiming to promote healthy sleep in children through effective preventive interventions.
