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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeOsteonecroses of the jaws are caused by several reasons. Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaws (BP-ONJ) is known since 2003 with an increasing incidence in the first years. Along with more knowledge about the pathophysiology, preventive strategies were implemented trying to reduce the incidence. The aim of this retrospective study was to analyze the frequency and overall proportion of BP-ONJ within the field of osteonecrosis. The data was compared to a similar study performed in 2005.

methodsAll patients with osteonecrosis or osteomyelitis treated in the period from April 2005 to July 2012 in the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Mainz, Germany, were analyzed.

resultsThe reasons for osteonecrosis were bisphosphonates in 45 %, odontogenic or surgically induced osteonecrosis in 32 %, osteoradionecrosis in 17 %, traumas in 1 %, and in 4 % the reason remained unclear. The BP-ONJ became the most important factor for osteonecrosis. Its fraction in the years 2000-2005 was 10 % only.

conclusionsAlthough preventive strategies are implemented, the number of new cases got bigger. The implemented prevention strategies did not manage to reduce the overall number of new cases. Furthermore, the launch of other medications with a similar side effect on the jawbone as the BP-ONJ for bisphosphonates might influence the overall distribution of osteonecroses.
