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

A bimaxillary edentulous male patient, aged 67 years, diagnosed with prostate cancer who underwent intravenous bisphosphonates treatment (zoledronic acid) for about one year presented with pain in the anterior mandibular arch, with exposed necrotic bone, and was diagnosed with stage 2 medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). MRONJ is the development of bone necrosis in the oral cavity as an adverse reaction in patients treated with antiresorptive and antiangiogenic medication, without radiation therapy to the head and neck. This persistent bone necrosis does not always respond to standard treatments. The reconstruction technique with pectoralis major flap, at a distance, associated with the primary reconstruction plate, was an effective treatment modality for the treatment of large osteonecrosis noncompliant with conservatory treatments. Through this technique, the morpho-functionality of the jaw can be restored almost completely.
