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

objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate the prognostic treatment outcome of non-operative management of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), particularly regarding the relationship between image findings and treatment outcomes.

methodsThis single-center, retrospective observational study included patients with MRONJ who were conservatively treated between 2010 and 2020. All patients were evaluated in terms of MRONJ treatment outcomes, time to healing, and prognostic factors, including sex, age, underlying disease, antiresorptive drug type, discontinuation of antiresorptive treatment, chemotherapy, corticosteroid treatment, diabetes mellitus, location of MRONJ, clinical stage of MRONJ, and computed tomography image findings.

resultsThe complete healing rate among the patients was 68.5%. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that "Sequestrum formation" on the internal texture (hazard ratio = 3.66; 95% confidence interval, 1.30-10.29;

conclusionsThe image findings on the internal texture of the lesions at the initial examination and chemotherapy were associated with the treatment outcomes of nonoperative management of MRONJ. The image findings of "Sequestrum formation" were associated with lesions taking a short time to heal and better outcomes, whereas "Sclerosis" and "Normal" were associated with lesions with longer healing times.
