Review in Drugs & aging, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

As populations age in the world's 7 major pharmaceutical markets, an increasing number of men and women, but especially women during their first postmenopausal decade, are falling victim to a bone disease that can result in hospitalisation, disability and death. This disease is osteoporosis. Indeed, by the year 2007, as many as 153,000,000 people will have experienced at least some significant osteopenia, if not osteoporosis. Although there are many different drugs, such as calcitonin, the bisphosphonates, estrogen and selective estrogen receptor modulators, that can slow or even stop further bone loss, there are currently few that can replace already lost bone by directly stimulating bone growth. However, a family of potent bone-building (or bone-anabolic) peptides is currently undergoing clinical development. These are the first-generation 84-amino acid native parathyroid hormone (PTH) and its 34- to 38-amino acid N terminal fragments, and the potent second-generation mini-PTHs. In this article, we briefly summarise what has so far been learned about how these molecules stimulate the production of new biomechanically strong bone in animals and humans.
