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

objectiveBisphosphonates and denosumab are both antiresorptive medications, each with their own mechanism of action; yet both may result in the same adverse effect: medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). The present systematic review aims to answer the following question: "Are bisphosphonate-related ONJ and denosumab-related ONJ any different, regarding clinical and imaging aspects?"

methodsThis review followed the Joanna Briggs Review's Manual, and the searches were performed on PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science, and Lilacs databases and on the grey literature (ProQuest, Open Grey, and Google Scholar).

resultsThe searches resulted in 7535 articles that were critically assessed. Based on the selection criteria, seven studies were included in the review: five cross-sectional studies and two randomized clinical trials. A total of 7755 patients composed the final population. An increase in bone sequestra, cortical bone lysis, and bone density was observed in bisphosphonate-related ONJ, while larger bone sequestra, more frequent periosteal reactions, and mandibular canal enhancement were noted in denosumab-related ONJ.

conclusionThis systematic review demonstrated that the imaging characteristics of bisphosphonate-related and denosumab-related ONJ are not similar. Although clinically similar conditions, they were found to be radiographically distinct. More studies are necessary to further elucidate these differences.
