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

Torus palatinus is an osseus exostosis found in the midline of the hard palate. It is a relatively common condition and is benign in nearly all cases. However, complications such as airway obstruction, sleep apnea, and swallowing difficulties do exist. One of the more serious complications is osteonecrosis. Osteonecrosis of tori has scantly been reported in the literature. Reported risk factors include bisphosphonate use, trauma, and anticoagulation. Here, we present a case of torus palatinus osteonecrosis in the setting of Denosumab use, a monoclonal antibody for the treatment of osteoporosis. This case brings awareness to a rare, but important, potential complication of long-term use of that medication.
