Osteoradionecrosis - an update for the general dental practitioner.
Review in British dental journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This review provides an update for the general dental practitioner (GDP) on osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaws, covering aetiopathogenesis, key diagnostic features, disease classification and basic management principles. ORN can occur as a complication of therapeutic radiotherapy, leading to bone necrosis in the jaws that may be detected radiographically or clinically.We report on a 48-year-old patient who developed ORN secondary to pre-radiotherapy removal of a wisdom tooth. This patient's disease has been treated effectively, and they have now undergone implant-based restorative oral rehabilitation. Clinical photographs and radiographs have been included to highlight the key diagnostic features of this condition.Risk factors for ORN including therapeutic dose of radiation, patient, tumour and dental factors are explored. Prevention is a key consideration when managing patients with ORN to reduce the risk of dental disease, as infections, loss of teeth or extractions may precipitate the condition. GDPs have a key role in managing these patients as part of a shared-care model with hospital specialties.
