Potential Relationship between Poor Oral Hygiene and MRONJ: An Observational Retrospective Study.
Observational study in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a drug-related side effect linked but not limited to antiresorptive and antiangiogenic molecules. It recognizes several triggers in dental procedures, such as surgery, endodontic treatments, and root planing, but also prosthesis decubitus or with a spontaneous onset. Although there are many reports about the onset of this pathology, oral hygiene status is mainly described as a consequence of MRONJ. Not so much is known about the oral hygiene situation as a concurrent factor in the pathogenesis of severe stages and about non-surgical periodontal therapy in patients affected by MRONJ. Actually, clear instructions for non-surgical periodontal therapy are poor in the literature. The primary outcome of the present study is to evaluate the oral hygiene status in MRONJ patients. In addition, a secondary outcome is to review the factor of poor oral hygiene as a cause or worsening aspect for MRONJ. A total of 45 subjects (19 males and 26 females) with a mean age of 59 ± 12 were enrolled. The Pearson correlation coefficient showed no significant results for the variable of the Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S) and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) stage, although the majority of patients showed poor oral hygiene with an OHI-S average of 3.39 ± 1.83. As stated by the last AAOMS position paper, poor plaque control is related to a worsened MRONJ stage. The relation between the lack of oral hygiene and MRONJ onset is still unclear.
