Image findings of bisphosphonate related osteonecrosis of jaws comparing with osteoradionecrosis.

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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to evaluate image characteristics of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (BRONJ) and compare these with osteoradionecrosis (ORN).
methods34 patients with BRONJ and 16 patients with ORN were included in this study. We investigated the CT and dental panoramic radiograph (DPR) images for osteolysis, osteosclerosis, sequestration, periosteal reaction, pathological fracture and spread of soft tissue inflammation around the jaws.
resultsOsteolysis, osteosclerosis, sequestration and spread of soft tissue inflammation around the jaws were common radiological features in both BRONJ and ORN. Osteolysis and spreading of soft tissue inflammation around the jaws were predominant in ORN, and by contrast osteosclerosis was predominant in BRONJ. Periosteal reaction was established in 15 of the 34 BRONJ cases, but none in the ORN cases. Pathological fractures were observed in 6 of 16 ORN cases, but none in BRONJ cases. CT was better for detection than DPR for osteolysis, osteosclerosis, sequestration and periosteal reactions.
conclusionsImage findings of BRONJ were characterized as a severe sclerotic change combined with osteolysis, sequestration, periosteal reaction and spread of soft tissue inflammation around the jaws.
