Review in Head and neck pathology, 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

Osteonecrosis of the jaw to a certain extent has been with us for many years. But recently the advent of various medications such as bisphosphonates, VEGF inhibitors, tyrosine kinase inhibitors and humanized antibodies to osteoclastic action have resulted in thousands of cases. While the bisphosphonates continue to be the most common medication associated with osteochemonecrosis antibodies such as denosumab which irreversibly act on osteoclastic action are also being reported. This narrative review will serve as an update with a focus on some of the histopathologic features discussed and reviewed. Perhaps even more uncommonly seen in past reports a discussion of features possibly observed while grossing specimens will be discussed. At the end of this report is hoped that the pathologist will have a better understanding of the historical features, clinical settings, gross examination features as well as histopathologic features associated with osteochemonecrosis.
