Intraoperative detection of viable bone with fluorescence imaging using Visually Enhanced Lesion Scope in patients with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw: clinical and pathological evaluation.
Article in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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
unlabelledThere is no standard surgical protocol of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ), because of the impossibility to visualize this feature intraoperatively. The aim of this study was to introduce how to provide preoperative labeling of the viable bone with minocycline bone fluorescence technique (MBFT) by using VELscope® and investigate histopathologically.
introductionThe American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) and the Japanese Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (JSOMS) now recommend a more conservative treatment strategy. There is no standard surgical protocol of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) because of the impossibility to visualize this feature intraoperatively. The aim of this study was to introduce a mechanism providing preoperative labeling of a viable bone using minocycline bone fluorescence technique (MBFT) with VELscope® and to histopathologically investigate.
methodsThis report describes a surgical technique used in six patients with BRONJ who underwent jawbone resection under minocycline bone fluorescence imaging using VELscope®. Subsequently, we investigated and compared the clinical findings using VELscope® and histopathological findings.
resultsHistopathological examinations showed that the non-fluorescent moiety was consistent with the BRONJ lesions.
conclusionsThe surgical treatments that were exactly performed using MBFT with VELscope® offered successful management of BRONJ. This bone fluorescence helped to define the margins of resection, thus improving surgical therapy for extended osteonecrosis.
