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

backgroundOsteoradionecrosis of the jaws (ORNJ) is a pernicious complication of radiation therapy that significantly affects the quality of life of patients with head and neck cancer. The present study aimed to investigate the risk factors for the clinical prognosis of ORNJ in the same scenario. MATERIAL AND

methodsA cross-sectional study was designed and implemented in a tertiary teaching hospital from January 2005 to December 2020. A total of 106 patients were divided into normal wound healing group (n = 79) and delayed wound healing group (n = 27) according to two different prognosis. The risk factors associated with the prognosis in patients with ORNJ were comparatively analyzed via performing one-way and multifactorial logistic analyses.

resultsThe majority of the study cohort (n = 59, 55.7%) was found to be characterized with Glanzmann and Gratz grade 2 and followed up for a median of 38.6 months. Diabetes mellitus (P = .045), Charlson comorbidity index (P = .042), American Society of Anesthesiologists score (P < .001), primary tumour site (P = .012), T stage (P = .008), ORNJ grade at initial diagnosis (P < .001), pan-immune-inflammatory value and systemic immune-inflammatory index at initial radiotherapy (P = .01 and P < .001 respectively) were detected as risk factors associated with poor prognosis in patients with ORNJ.

conclusionsWe conclude that there are abundant risk factors for poor prognosis in these patients, and it is important to be evaluated before irradiation so that suitable post-radiated treatments can be given.
