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

The diagnostic algorithm in cases of suspected bone metastases of genitourinary tumors still starts with a scintigraphic examination. Osseous metastases of hormone-refractory prostate cancer require treatment with zoledronic acid. A potential indication is a hormone-sensitive status. Nephrotoxic substances should not be administered simultaneously. To avoid osteonecrosis of the jaw, prior dental examination, oral hygiene, and if necessary dental reconstruction are recommended. Bisphosphonates can be combined with radiation therapy and chemotherapy; additional administration of calcium and vitamin D is not mandatory. It is recommended that patients with bone metastases of renal cell cancer be treated with bisphosphonates approved for this indication. For urothelial carcinoma and other genitourinary tumors, the available data are not sufficient to give a recommendation.
