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

Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a rare and challenging complication of anti-resorptive therapy. This review addresses the critical issue of risk management in patients with osteoporosis who require dentoalveolar surgery while undergoing anti-resorptive therapy. Dental practitioners should be aware of these risks; however, they should not refuse treatment based solely on them. This review discusses the risks through five major factors: invasive dentoalveolar surgeries, concomitant oral infection, type of medication, duration of medication, and preoperative drug discontinuation. Additionally, we discussed the local factors associated with dental practices. Our review underscored the importance of personalized risk assessment, considering each patient's unique drug history and oral condition. Based on a comprehensive literature review and clinical evidence, we proposed specific guidelines for preoperative drug interruption tailored to different anti-resorptive agents. These recommendations aimed to balance osteoporosis management by minimizing the risk of MRONJ during oral surgical interventions and bridging the knowledge gap in managing patients with osteoporosis requiring dental care. This review will allow clinicians to improve their practice and optimize patient outcomes by providing evidence-based strategies.
