1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

We studied the effectiveness of teriparatide (TPTD) for treating medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients with osteoporosis and examined differences in the clinical outcomes following daily versus weekly TPTD. The outcomes were significantly improved in the entire patient series and the daily group. PURPOSE: Teriparatide (TPTD) treatment for Stage II-III medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in osteoporotic patients has yielded promising results in uncontrolled studies. The daily administration and the weekly administration of TPTD have been reported to improve outcomes in MRONJ. Herein, we sought to identify differences in the clinical outcomes of MRONJ patients treated with daily TPTD versus weekly TPTD.

methodsWe enrolled 13 patients and randomly assigned them to receive either of two treatments: 1×/week 56.5-μg TPTD injection for 6 months (weekly group; n = 6 patients after 1 dropout), or 20-μg TPTD injection daily for 6 months (daily group; n = 6 patients). Patients in both groups received conventional therapy plus intensive antibiotic therapy as necessary. We compared the changes in the patients' clinical stage of MRONJ, bone metabolism, percentage of bone formation, and bone turnover markers between the weekly and daily groups.

resultsTPTD treatment with MRONJ led to partial remission or complete remission in 5 daily-group patients and 3 weekly-group patients. The MRONJ stage was significantly improved from baseline to 6 months of treatment in the entire series of 12 patients (p = 0.008); the weekly group did not show significant improvement, but the daily group did (p = 0.01).

conclusionsThis study provides the first comparison of clinical outcomes between MRONJ patients who received daily or weekly TPTD injections. Six months of treatment with TPTD realized a significant improvement of MRONJ stage in both the entire patient series and the daily group.
