Association of Burning Mouth Symptoms with Sleep Quality, Stress and Xerostomia in Middle-Aged and Elderly Patients - a Systematic Review.
Review in Maedica, 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
Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a long term syndrome of oral pains that is prevalent among the middle aged and the aged people. It is usually associated with poorly understood symptoms, including sleeping difficulties, psychological stress and xerostomia (dry mouth). The objective of the systematic review was to establish the association between the burning mouth symptoms and sleep quality, stress and xerostomia, through a systematic review of the literature at hand. A thorough electronic database search was carried out leading to the identification of 10 eligible studies, according to a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that BMS is closely linked with low sleep quality, high levels of psychological distress and perceived dry mouth, which may lead to a multifactorial interaction, which determines the extent of symptoms and the quality of life of patients. This research paper is added to the scientific literature as it summarizes existing evidence and emphasizes the need to thoroughly assess and treat patients with BMS using multidisciplinary approaches.
