Are there any differences in mandibular morphology of patients with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of jaws?: a case-control study.
Article in Dento maxillo facial radiology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the morphological differences in the mandible between patients with bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) and healthy individuals and to detect the correlation between these parameters on panoramic radiography and CBCT.
methods: The CBCT and panoramic images of patients with BRONJ (n = 32) and control groups (n = 32) were included in the study. All the comparisons were analyzed between the osteonecrosed and healthy sides of patients with BRONJ and control group. The panoramic radiographs were used to measure the values of the condyle angle, gonial angle, antegonial angle, antegonial depth, condylar height and ramal height. The mandibular cortical index (MCI) and bone quality index (BQI) were also examined on cross-sectional scans of CBCT images.
results: There were significant differences in the MCI (p = 0.014) and BQI (p = 0.021) between the left and right side of the BRONJ group and also between the osteonecrosed side of the BRONJ and control group (p < 0.0001). No significant difference was found in other comparisons.
conclusions: The outcomes of the present study indicate that bisphosphonates influenced some internal morphological changes in the mandible. These changes may be a reason of BRONJ. But, these changes are not reflective of the measured values obtained using panoramic radiographs on the external morphology of the mandible.
