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

A new understanding of the regulation of bone resorption developed with the discovery of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand, and osteoprotegerin in 1997-1998. The RANK signaling system is abnormally regulated in multiple myeloma, and this favors increased osteoclast function, which early in the disease is compensated by increased osteoblast function. Later in the disease osteoblast activity decreases, resulting in osteolytic lesions. We review the factors implicated in osteoclast and osteoblast function. Among these are receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand, osteoprotegerin, hepatocyte growth factor, macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha, bone morphogenetic proteins, and the Wnt system. Bisphosphonates are the only drugs used in routine clinical management; however, the complex regulation system of bone homeostasis offers a number of of possible targets for therapy, which are discussed.
