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

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is a rare but potentially devastating complication of extended use of bisphosphonates. fibula free flaps (FFFs) are the gold standard of mandibular reconstruction. Virtual surgical planning (VSP) is a technique that utilizes high-definition three-dimensional reconstructions that enable the production of highly accurate intra-operative surgical guides and templates that help guide osteotomies and fibula contouring.  The aim of this report is to highlight the value of VSP in the surgical management of advanced BRONJ. We report a case study of a woman with advanced BRONJ that required an angle-to-angle mandibular resection with subsequent reconstruction with an FFF. VSP was used to improve the accuracy of the reconstruction and minimize ischemia time. We present the first reported case of the successful implementation of VSP for the planning of FFF reconstruction for a woman with advanced symptomatic BRONJ that had failed conservative measures.
