Insomnia and Risk of Tooth Wear and Fracture: Evidence From a Nationwide Population-Based Cohort.
Article in Journal of oral rehabilitation, 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
backgroundInsomnia is associated with various systemic conditions; however, its relationship with structural dental outcomes-particularly tooth wear and tooth fracture-has not been well defined.
objectivesTo investigate the association between clinically diagnosed insomnia and the incidence of tooth wear and fracture in a nationwide population-based cohort.
methodsData were obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort. Adults aged ≥ 20 years who underwent health screening between 2011 and 2014 were included. Insomnia was defined using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes, and prescription records of hypnotics. Two separate cohorts were constructed for tooth wear and fracture outcomes. Individuals with prior diagnoses of bruxism, temporomandibular disorders, malignant neoplasms, certain psychiatric or neurological disorders, or insomnia during the washout period were excluded. Propensity score matching (1:3) was applied, and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using the Cox proportional hazards models.
resultsAfter matching, 81 096 participants were included in the tooth wear cohort and 82 256 in the tooth fracture cohort. Individuals with insomnia exhibited significantly higher incidence rates of tooth wear (29.02 vs. 26.27 per 1000 person-years; adjusted HR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.06-1.15) and tooth fracture (16.70 vs. 13.63 per 1000 person-years; adjusted HR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.13-1.26) than controls.
conclusionsClinically diagnosed insomnia was modestly but significantly associated with increased risks of tooth wear and fracture, underscoring the need for early oral health evaluation and coordinated care between dental and sleep medicine professionals.
