Sleep Bruxism and Gastroesophageal Reflux. A Scoping Review.
Review in Nature and science of sleep, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To provide a scoping review of the literature by assessing all the English-language papers that investigated the relationship between sleep bruxism (SB) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Methods: On September 2025, a systematic search was conducted in the National Library of Medicine (PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science databases to identify all published articles assessing the relationship between SB and GERD, using various assessment approaches. The selected articles were assessed independently by two authors according to a structured reading of the articles' format (PECO). Results: Out of 174 references that were initially retrieved, 7 articles met the inclusion criteria and were thus included in the review. The studies were divided into 2 categories based on the type of SB assessment: 1. self-report and clinical assessment (n = 4), and 2. instrumental examination (n = 3). All studies found a positive correlation between SB and GERD. Conclusion: This review supports a relationship between SB and GERD; however, underlying mechanisms remain unclear due to methodological heterogeneity, limited evidence strength, and variability in assessment methods. Future investigations should adopt standardized assessments for both SB and GERD and more thoroughly examine their relationship with coexisting sleep-related disorders and alterations in sleep architecture.
