A Case of Extensive Maxillary Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw With Wound Closure Using a Pedicled Buccal Fat Pad.

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.
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
Reports of extensive medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) with pedicled buccal fat pad wound closure without tissue reconstruction are rare. We present the case of a 78-year-old man with prostate cancer and extensive MRONJ on the left side of the maxilla. The patient was treated with denosumab for the multiple bone marrow and lymph node metastases. Aggressive resection of the infected bone should be considered to prevent the spread of the infection if it extends into the maxillary sinus. In cases of extensive removal of decayed bone, jaw reconstruction is necessary to address the bone defect because it impairs the ability to eat, speak, and communicate. However, it was possible to close the wound and improve oral function by using a pedicled buccal fat pad for extensive MRONJ without maxillary reconstruction.
