1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

backgroundThis cross-sectional observational study aimed to assess the relationships between headache (HA), orofacial pain (OFP), sleep bruxism (SB), trauma, emotional control, stress management, and illness acceptance, as measured by scales.

methodsEligible patients underwent overnight videopolysomnography and completed validated questionnaires on pain, trauma, coping strategies, and illness acceptance; all data were analysed using TIBCO Statistica 13.

resultsThe results showed a positive correlation between experienced trauma and pain (p = 0.001 for HIT 6, p = 0.002 for MIDAS, p = 0.002 for SF-MPQ), as well as between pain and negative coping strategies such as denial (p = 0.020 for MIDAS, p = 0.038 for SF-MPQ), venting (p = 0.020 for HIT-6, p = 0.009 for MIDAS, p = 0.037 for SF-MPQ), taking psychoactive substances (p = 0.009 for SF-MPQ), behavioural disengagment (p = 0.007for HIT-6, p = 0.039 for SF-MPQ), and self-blame (p = 0.000 for HIT-6, p = 0.001 for MIDAS, p = 0.000 for SF-MPQ). The results also showed a correlation between lower illness acceptance and greater pain complaints (p = 0.000 for GCPS, p = 0.000 for HIT-6, p = 0.000 for MIDAS, p = 0.000 for SF-MPQ). We observed a significant negative relationship between self-blame and the bruxism episode index (BEI) (p = 0.006) and between venting and BEI (p = 0.039).

conclusionsFactors such as trauma, the use of negative coping strategies, and low levels of illness acceptance among patients with chronic orofacial pain can be associated with increased pain, which in turn compromises the effectiveness of treatment therapy. Self-blame and emotional venting-showed significant negative correlations with BEI, indicating fewer SB episodes.
