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

backgroundAntiresorptive drugs (ARD) are associated with a known serious adverse event, known as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ). Transition from one ARD to another has become common clinical practice with the advent of more potent or safer agents; however, the influence of sequential antiresorptive therapy as a risk factor for MRONJ has not been established.

objectivesTo investigate the prevalence of MRONJ in oncology or osteoporosis patients treated with two or more sequential ARDs as opposed to a single antiresorptive drug. MATERIAL AND

methodsSystematic electronic literature searches were conducted using Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Two review authors retrieved studies using pre-determined eligibility criteria and conducted quality assessment and data extraction. Fixed or random-effects meta-analysis models were used to summarize relative estimates for prevalence of MRONJ.

resultsA total of 483 titles and abstracts were screened, and 18 full texts were retrieved for review. Twelve studies were included in the final qualitative and quantitative synthesis. Random effects meta-analysis models revealed a weighted pooled MRONJ prevalence of 19% (95% CI 10-27%) for sequential pamidronate-zoledronate therapy, 10% (95% CI 3-22%) for sequential ibandronate-zoledronate therapy. Pooled weighted prevalence of MRONJ was 13% (95% CI 3-22%) for sequential bisphosphonate-denosumab therapy while bisphosphonates only was 5% (95% CI 0-9%) and denosumab only was 4% (95% CI 3-5%).

conclusionsThe present systematic review suggests an increased prevalence of MRONJ associated with sequential ARD therapy for pamidronate-zoledronate and bisphosphonate-denosumab administration when compared to single ARD therapy.
