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

backgroundThe objective of this study was to describe the clinical and radiographic characteristics of our series of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ) associated with denosumab. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe presented 15 cases of ONJ associated with denosumab; 11 received treatment for their osteoporosis and four for cancer treatments. We recorded the most frequent clinical findings, symptoms and radiographic characteristics in our patient group, as well as local and systemic contributing factors.

resultsThe mean time of treatment with denosumab was 23.83 ± 12.84 months. 40% of the patients had a previous history of treatment with bisphosphonates. The most common local factor was tooth extraction (11 cases; 73.3%), and in most cases there was necrotic bone exposure (13/15, 86.67%). Osteolysis, bone sclerosis and cortical erosion were the most common radiographic findings. Stage 1 was the most frequent, present in 60% of the cases.

conclusionsIn our patient group, most were in the early stages of ONJ.
