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
objectiveThis study aims to analyze the risk factors for BRONJ in patients taking zoledronic acid (ZA) for metastatic breast and prostate cancer.
methodsFor this, a retrospective, quantitative, observational cohort study was conducted using data on adverse effects in the oral cavity in patients during chemotherapy for treatment of solid tumors available in the electronic patient record system of the Haroldo Juaçaba Hospital/Ceará Cancer Institute in the period from 2010, to 2019. Data were tabulated in Excel and exported to SPSS v20.0 software for statistical analysis, with 95% confidence.
resultsThus, it can be observed that the prevalence of BRONJ in patients under treatment for breast cancer and prostate cancer was <7%, with age <50 years of age (p=0.009), cytotoxic chemotherapy such as methotrexate (p=0.023), paclitaxel (p=0.005), capecitabine (p<0.001), gemcitabine (p=0.007) and bicalutamide (p=0.016), amount of ZA infusions (p<0.001) and hormone therapy (p=0.007), in addition, a slight reduction in survival and increased use of antidepressants (p=0.014) were observed. The reduced overall survival and increased use of antidepressants in patients who developed BRONJ, reinforcing the need for further research to study the mechanisms involved in the unconventional risk factors for BRONJ.
conclusionThus, increasing the attention to these patients to prevent this condition from compromising the prognosis of these individuals.
