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

Bisphosphonates (BPs) are able to prevent, reduce, or delay skeletal complications caused by tumors. Since the introduction of BPs, there has been a marked reduction of skeletal events. Today we can choose from a variety of BPs with different potency, efficacy, dosing, and administration regimens, as well as BPs for different indications. For patients with tumors who have a risk of developing osteoporosis induced by the tumor or antitumor treatment, we should think of prevention. In general, BPs are well tolerated. But there are also side effects: flulike syndrome, arthralgias, or, when administered orally, gastrointestinal symptoms. In a number of cases, the dosing regime must be adjusted according to renal function and baseline creatinine clearance. This paper reviews the current evidence-based use of BPs in solid tumors and the recommendations for treatment.
