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

Segmental mandibular resection may be indicated as a treatment in, for example, advanced stages of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Osseous reconstruction of these defects is a fundamental part of static and dynamic masticatory rehabilitation, particularly when dental implants are required. The Segmental Mandibular Defect Reconstruction (SMDR) Registry aims to generate real-world evidence on SMDR through an international, prospective, multicentre case series designed as a registry. While OSCC is a common indication for segmental mandibular resection, the SMDR Registry also aims to capture outcomes for rarer mandibular conditions and the increasing number of collateral damage cases resulting from systemic medication therapies (antiresorptive drugs, immunotherapeutics) or irradiation, which may likewise lead to medication-related osteonecrosis of the mandible (MRONJ) or osteo(radio)necrosis with tumour-like segmental resection of the mandible, highlighting the value of an international database for these less frequent pathologies. Primary objectives are to describe the patient population and current treatment modalities, describe the outcomes and adverse events (AEs) for different treatment modalities, and identify potential predictors for successful autologous reconstruction of SMDs. Approximately 300 patients with a mandibular lesion resulting from bisphosphonate- and immunomodulatory drug-induced osteonecrosis of the mandible, ameloblastoma or osteosarcoma of the mandible, oral metastases related mandibular lesions indicated for segmental resection, or OSCC undergoing SMDR or intending to undergo one- or two-stage reconstruction will be prospectively recruited over a 36-month period. Baseline information, treatment details, and outcome measures will be documented. All treatments will be per the usual practice at participating sites. Outcome measures include clinical, patient-reported, and radiological outcomes; AEs related to the condition and/or treatment with a possible influence on the outcome will be recorded.
