Bevacizumab-associated osteonecrosis of the femur and tibia.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Osteonecrosis is a multifactorial process that can affect different skeletal structures of the body. Osteonecrosis of the jaw associated with bevacizumab, steroids and bisphosphonates, alone or in combination, is a well-documented phenomenon. There are few cases of involvement of the appendicular skeleton. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most sensitive method for diagnosis. We hereby report two cases of osteonecrosis in the right tibia and in bilateral femoral heads in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung and ovarian papillary serous carcinoma, respectively, that developed the complication after long-term bevacizumab exposure. Long-term exposure to antiangiogenic treatment may be a potential risk factor. Oncologists should be aware that osteonecrosis is a rare but real toxicity associated with bevacizumab and other antiangiogenics, which can occur in locations different from the jaw.
