Anti-resorptive therapy for osteoporosis and oral status of geriatric inpatients: A retrospective hospital-based study.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental dentistry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: In osteoporotic patients, eliminating any sources of oral infection is recommended prior to initiating bisphosphonate (BP) therapy, as a preventive strategy against medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). Given their current state oral health status, oral disinfection before BP therapy for osteoporosis may frequently result in teeth extraction in geriatric hospitalized patients. Material and Methods: The study purpose was to determine whether the number of teeth of geriatric hospitalized patients undergoing BP therapy for osteoporosis declined during their hospital stay. A retrospective study was conducted on medical records of patients over the age of 65 who were hospitalized at the Rothschild Hospital (Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris, Sorbonne Université) and referred to the Oral Surgery Department for the detection of oral infectious foci prior to initiating antiresorptive therapy, from September 2021 to July 2022. The primary outcome measured was teeth number, recorded before the start of antiresorptive therapy and at hospital discharge. Data were analyzed by using a paired t-test, one-way ANOVA, and binary regression analysis, with statistical significance set at P<0.05. Results: Among the study population (n=161 subjects, 120 women, mean age of 86.1±6.7 years), 84 subjects (52.1%) had oral infections foci and 45 subjects (27.9%) benefited from teeth extraction during the course of their hospitalization. Binary logistic regression showed that being aged 85 and above was a significant predictor of teeth extraction (p<0.05), with an odds ratio of 2.63 (95% CI: 1.14-6.03). The average number of teeth significantly decreased from 16.1±9.6 to 15.4±9.7 (student t-test, p0.05, ddl= 160) during the course of the hospitalization. Conclusions: A decline in the number of teeth was observed during hospitalization. Patients aged 85 and above had a 2.6-fold higher likelihood of tooth extraction during hospitalization than younger patients.
