Nonsurgical Management of Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws Using Local Wound Care.
Article in Journal of oral and maxillofacial surgery : official journal of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
purposeMedication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ) is a known complication of antiresorptive medications with surgical and nonsurgical treatment options. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of nonsurgical therapy using local wound care on management of MRONJ lesions. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe authors conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients who presented to the University of California-Los Angeles School of Dentistry Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic for evaluation and treatment of MRONJ. The primary predictor variable was wound care score; secondary predictors were demographics (age, gender), anatomic location, primary condition, and type and time of antiresorptive treatment. Outcomes assessed were disease resolution and time to disease resolution. Statistical analysis was carried out using the Spearman correlation for continuous and ordinal variables or the χ
resultsOne hundred six patients with 117 MRONJ lesions were treated using local wound care; complete disease resolution was observed 71% of lesions, with an additional 22% of lesions undergoing disease improvement. Wound care score was statistically associated with disease resolution and time to resolution, whereas demographics, anatomic site, condition, and type and time of antiresorptive treatment had no effect on resolution.
conclusionLocal wound care increased the likelihood of MRONJ resolution and decreased the time to disease resolution. This strategy can be used in patients who cannot undergo surgery and should be implemented in all patients with MRONJ lesions who are managed nonsurgically.
