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

Objectives: This study aimed to compare composite radiographic index (CRI-index) findings of medication-related osteonecrosis of jaws (MRONJs) and non-medication related osteonecrosis of jaws (n-MRONJs) and predict factors predictive of recurrence and healing delays. Materials and Methods: Patients referred to our clinic for stage 2 and 3 MRONJ and n-MRONJ between 2020 and 2023 were included in this study. Microorganisms were isolated in samples of excised bone obtained from the adjacent bone by surgery. CRI-index was evaluated using radiological data. Patient age, sex, causes and localization of osteomyelitis, as well as intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in CRI-index score between the two groups ( Conclusion: Radiological and clinical findings were similar for MRONJ and n-MRONJ patients. However, although treatment methods for these two groups is almost identical, the follow-up process can vary.
