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

Most severe presentation of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is classified as stage 3 for which there are still no standard surgical therapy guideline. Our aim was to describe "Five Times Three (FTT) Split" protocol as surgical treatment of stage 3 maxillary MRONJ. The present case series included a total of 14 patients diagnosed with stage 3 MRONJ of the upper jaw who were treated from February 2022 to September 2024 with mucoperiosteal flap and "FTT Split" protocol. The patients were followed up both clinically and radiologically for a period ranging from 9 months to 3 years. Primary wound closure was successfully achieved in all cases without any signs of oroantral or oronasal communication, and complete healing was observed during the postoperative follow-up period. The "FTT Split" surgical protocol demonstrated high success rates during a controlled postoperative period.
