Inhibitory effect of bone resorption and inflammation with etidronate therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis for 3 years and in vitro assay in arthritis models.
Article in Rheumatology international, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 study was conducted to identify bone resorption and anti-inflammatory effects with intermittent cyclical etidronate therapy (ICET) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and anti-inflammatory effect of etidronate in vitro. We compared bone mineral density (BMD), urinary deoxypyridinoline (DPD) level, bone alkaline phosphatase (BAP) level and Larsen damage scores between the ICET and the non-ICET groups for 3 years. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), substance P and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in synovial cells from arthritis models were measured following the addition of etidronate. In the ICET group, BMD and BAP levels increased. Urinary DPD level and the Larsen damage score were significantly lower than that in the non-ICET group. In the in vitro study, the production of IL-6, PGE2, substance P and VEGF were inhibited in a dose-dependent manner. Bone resorption and destruction inhibition effect of etidronate remained for 3 years. In vitro study showed that the production of inflammatory cytokines and an angiogenesis factor were inhibited.
