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

unlabelledWe have examined the changes induced in the trochanteric region of femur of ovariectomized rat after administration of estradiol and parathyroid hormone. We have developed a reproducible biomechanical test and produced trochanteric fractures to evaluate stiffness and strength of this region in addition to histomorphometry.

introductionWe investigated the short-term effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and estrogen (E) on the strength of the rat trochanteric region in a new mechanical test.

methodsForty-four 3-month-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were ovariectomized and 8 weeks later treated with soy-free diet (C), daily applications of orally supplied E (0.5 mg/kg food) or subcutaneously injected PTH (0.014 mg/kg), for 5 weeks, and an additional untreated group was added as sham-operated. The femurs were examined for biomechanical and histomorphometric changes.

resultsOur new mechanical test was validated in a right-left comparison. The PTH treatment induced significantly superior biomechanical results (F (max) = 225.3 N, stiffness = 314.9 N/mm) compared to E (F (max) = 182.9 N, stiffness = 237.2 N/mm), C (F (max) = 166.03 N, stiffness = 235.56 N/mm), and sham (F (max) = 192.1 N, stiffness = 267.2 N/mm). Animals of the PTH group demonstrated a significantly improved trabecular bone structure and area (75.67%) in comparison to the E (61.04%) and C (57.18%) groups.

conclusionOur new biomechanical test is valid and produces trochanteric fracture. Our results show that the short-term antiosteoporotic effects of PTH are in the trochanteric region of ovariectomized rat superior to E.
