Review in Dental research journal, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Nitrogen containing bisphosphonate (N-BP) therapy is used extensively to treat osteoporosis and osteolytic bone lesions. Recently, a special form of osteonecrosis limited to the maxillofacial skeleton has been discovered especially within those patients who are receiving either long-term N-BP therapy alone and/or associated with invasive dental procedure. Bisphosphonates accumulate almost exclusively in maxillofacial skeleton owing to high bone turn over remodeling to maintain the mechanical competence. The pathogenesis and why it commonly appears in maxillofacial skeleton and the fixed treatment strategies remains unknown. The aim of this study was to improve the clinician understanding of N-BPs associated osteonecrosis of maxillofacial skeleton by reviewing the past 10 year literature.
