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

Osteoporosis is a systemic disease of the bones with increasing incidence in the elderly. Over the age of 50 years bone mineral density continuously decreases resulting in osteoporotic fracture. Osteoporosis is positively correlated with late-onset hypogonadism and increases under androgen deprivation therapy. The evaluation of osteoporosis should be done in cooperation with an endocrinologist. Measurement of bone mineral density is recommended before starting androgen deprivation therapy. Patients with fracture and/or decreased bone mineral density 2.5 or more standard deviations below normal peak bone mass of young men should be treated. The appropriate treatment is calcium and vitamin D substitution combined with oral or i.v. administration of bisphosphonates.
