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

purposeSurgical management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) has been performed in an attempt to increase healing rates of the affected cases. This literature review aimed to identify clinical studies of surgical management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) in order to assess their surgical treatment modalities, outcome and the follow-up.

methodsA search in the PubMed (Medline) database using specific terms and/or phrases as "bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis" or "jaw osteonecrosis", and "surgical treatment" or "surgical management" was conducted in order to identify clinical trials and cases of surgical treatment of BRONJ. The review search covered the time period from 2004 to 2014. All studies identified in the search were selected according to the inclusion criteria. Relevant information was recorded according to the following items: author, year, number of patients, BRONJ clinical stage, surgical treatment modality, clinical success, and follow-up.

resultsThe initial database search yielded 345 titles. After filtering, 67 abstracts were selected culminating in 67 full text articles. A variety of surgical approach was found in this review: debridement, sequestrectomy bone resection, and bone reconstruction. Adjunctive therapies included hyperbaric oxygen, laser therapy, growth factors, and ozone.

conclusionAlthough there are many indexed studies about BRONJ, well-documented reports concerning surgical therapeutically techniques are scarce, resulting from a lack of well-established protocols. Considerable differences were found regarding sample size, surgical treatment modalities and outcomes. Clinical studies with larger number of patients and longer follow-up are required to provide best information for each surgical treatment modality and its outcomes.
