Sleep Bruxism: A Narrative Review of Current Concepts, Mechanisms, and Clinical Implications.
Review in Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Sleep bruxism is defined as "masticatory muscle activity during sleep that is characterized as rhythmic (phasic) or non-rhythmic (tonic) and is not a movement disorder or a sleep disorder." This comprehensive narrative review synthesizes current knowledge on the prevalence, risk factors, assessment, and management of sleep bruxism. It emphasizes the condition's multifactorial nature, encompassing genetic predisposition, central nervous system mechanisms, alterations in sleep architecture, and psychosocial influences, particularly individual differences in stress sensitivity and coping capacity. The review also discusses recent advancements in assessment techniques and critically evaluates management strategies, including behavioral interventions, occlusal appliances, and pharmacological management. It highlights the importance of individualized, interdisciplinary approaches to care, guided where possible, by identification of underlying contributing factors such as psychological stress, neurological disorders, respiratory disturbances, or medication use, reflecting the evolving understanding of this complex activity.
