Probable sleep bruxism in children in the mixed dentition stage: prevalence and association with the risk for obstructive sleep apnea-a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in oral health, 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
Background and aim: Sleep bruxism's (SB) association with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is still not conclusively established. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of probable sleep bruxism (PSB) in a sample of Lebanese children aged six to ten years, and evaluate the association between PSB and OSA risk. Materials and methods: Children recruited from schools were examined for PSB's intra-oral signs, occlusal and mucosal factors. Parents/guardians filled one survey addressing their child's anamnesis, socio-demographic and daily habits' information and another [Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ)] evaluating their OSA risk. Chi-square, Mann-Whitney and logistic regression tests were run between PSB and independent variables. Significance level was set at 0.05. Results: Among 281 participants, 61.2% showed PSB. PSQ score and the percentage of patients at risk of OSA were higher among PSB than non-PSB patients, without statistical significance ( Conclusion: PSB was identified in 61.2% of the study sample. A positive yet non-significant association was found between PSB and OSA-risk variables. Further investigations are needed to better understand this association.
