Use of amniotic membrane in the treatment of patients with BRONJ: two case reports.
Article in Journal of surgical case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The use of bisphosphonates has led to a new disease, bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). There is currently no effective treatment for this disease; the surgical approach is controversial. The widespread use of human amniotic membrane (HAM) in surgery and the results obtained have highlighted its many potential properties, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifibrotic and antiapoptotic, as well as its capacity for encouraging epithelialisation and cell differentiation. These properties are believed to encourage the recovery of patients with BRONJ, facilitating the wound healing process after surgical debridement of the bone. We report our experience with the use of HAM: two patients treated with patches of HAM. The follow-up to date, which includes x-rays and clinical assessments, demonstrates good levels of epithelialisation and absence of infections and pain. To conclude, the use of HAM in patients with BRONJ seems to be a promising therapeutic alternative to current conventional treatments.
