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

unlabelledRaloxifene decreases PINP into the lower half of the premenopausal reference interval; alendronate decreases PINP more, with approximately 60% of alendronate-treated women having PINP concentrations below the lower limit of the premenopausal reference interval.

introductionThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the distribution of serum procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (PINP) concentrations in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis prior to treatment and after treatment with either raloxifene or alendronate for 12 or more months.

methodsIncluded were data from 1,323 postmenopausal women aged 45 to 87 years, collected at baseline or after treatment with either alendronate 10 mg/day or raloxifene 60 mg/day. These patients had participated in one of four clinical trials in which intact PINP was measured by radioimmunoassay (Orion Diagnostica). A premenopausal reference interval from 16.0 to 75.8 μg/L was determined from 68 premenopausal, non-pregnant women.

resultsMost postmenopausal osteoporotic patients prior to treatment had PINP values in the upper half of the premenopausal reference interval at baseline (70%). After ≥ 12 months of therapy, most patients who received raloxifene had PINP concentrations in the lower half of the premenopausal reference interval (58%), whereas among those who received alendronate, around 60% of patients had PINP concentrations below the lower limit of the premenopausal reference interval.

conclusionPINP may be useful for assessing differences in bone turnover response to different types of anti-resorptive therapy.
