Type-specific effects of orofacial pain on sleep quality: a cross-sectional clinical study.
Article in Journal of oral & facial pain and headache, 2026. 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
backgroundThis study aimed to assess the impact of different types of orofacial pain on sleep quality and to examine the influence of age and gender on sleep-related parameters.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 400 patients with orofacial pain presenting to the Faculty of Dentistry, Fırat University, were included. Participants were divided into eight pain categories: pulpal, periodontal, impacted tooth-related, dental implant-related, temporomandibular disorder-related, mucosal/cutaneous, neuropathic, and oncologic. Pain intensity was measured using the Numeric Rating Scale, and sleep quality was assessed via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Non-parametric tests and correlation analyses were used for statistical evaluation.
resultsThe mean age was 33.62 ± 13.06 years, and 66.8% were female. The mean global PSQI score was 5.56 ± 2.84. Neuropathic and mucosal/cutaneous pain groups demonstrated significantly higher PSQI scores, especially in sleep latency and disturbances (
conclusionsNeuropathic and mucosal/cutaneous pain types were associated with the most detrimental effects on sleep quality. Gender and age were also found to influence specific sleep parameters.
