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

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) has become a well-known side effect of antiresorptive, and antiangiogenic drugs commonly used in cancer management. Despite a considerable amount of literature addressing MRONJ, it is still widely accepted that the underlying pathomechanism of MRONJ is unclear. However, several clinical and preclinical studies indicate that infection seems to have a major role in the pathogenesis of MRONJ. Although there is no conclusive evidence for the infection hypothesis yet, available data have shown a robust association between local infection and MRONJ development. This observation is very critical in order to implement policies to reduce the risk of MRONJ in patients under antiresorptive drugs. This critical review was conducted to collect the most reliable evidence regarding the link between local infection and MRONJ pathogenesis.
