Dental practitioners' and students' knowledge of medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).

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
backgroundMedication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a complication affecting patients who are being treated with antiresorptive or antiangiogenic medication. These patients require meticulous treatment planning and management strategies. This research aimed to assess the knowledge of dental practitioners and students in their professional years regarding MRONJ.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 345 dental practitioners and students in their professional years of both genders, in governmental and private dental schools. The data was collected using an electronic and paper-based self-administered structured questionnaire with six sections. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS Version 23, and a P-value <0.05 was considered significant. A Chi-square test was used to compare the categorical variables.
resultsThough more than half of the sample 68% received information about antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs during their studies, the level of knowledge was low. The primary diseases targeted by antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medications were not known by the majority of the sample. Almost half of the sample could not identify any antiresorptive or antiangiogenic medication and only 28.1% knew the correct definition of MRONJ.
conclusionThe level of knowledge regarding MRONJ is a concern, necessitating more educational courses and workshops.
