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

Strontium ranelate is an effective treatment for osteoporosis in treatment-naive women. In the United Kingdom, bisphosphonates are often used first line. Prior bisphosphonate use may blunt the bone mineral density (BMD) response to strontium ranelate by reducing strontium uptake into the bone. Sixty bisphosphonate-naive women and 60 women discontinuing bisphosphonates were recruited. All women commenced strontium ranelate and calcium/vitamin D. BMD and bone turnover markers were recorded for 12 months. After 12 months, the bisphosphonate-naive group's BMD increased by 5.6% (p < .001) at the spine, 3.4% (p < .001) at the total hip, and 4.0% (p < .001) at the heel. By comparison, the prior bisphosphonate group had a 2.1% (p = .002) increase at the spine but no change at the hip or heel. At all time points, BMD was significantly greater in the bisphosphonate-naive group. In the prior bisphosphonate group, there was no significant change in BMD during the first 6 months at the spine, but between months 6 and 12 there was a parallel gain in BMD (0.027 versus 0.020 g/cm(2), p = .40). The baseline difference in bone markers was no longer significant by 3 months for bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP) and 6 months for procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and carboxy-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX). More women in the prior bisphosphonate group suffered a vertebral fracture (2 versus 8 women, p = .047). After bisphosphonates, bone turnover remains suppressed for up to 6 months, with blunting of the BMD response to strontium ranelate during this time. After 6 months, BMD increases in the spine but not at the hip or heel.
