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

Post menopausal osteoporotic fractures are a major public health concern worldwide with oral bisphosphonates favored for their prevention and treatment. Recent interest has centered on clinically observed, unusually sited femoral diaphyseal fractures, particularly attributed to alendronate. Their imaging presentations on routine radiographs, alternate imaging modalities, and associated pitfalls in nine fractures in six patients are selectively illustrated by seven fractures in four patients that serve to emphasize the following: (1) Bisphosphonates other than alendronate have been used for treating various bone diseases in children and men as well as osteoporotic women. (2) Effects may differ with each bisphosphonate's route of administration and prolongation of activity, despite discontinuation. Prior investigations and theoretical mechanisms of bisphosphonates as a class rather than with a specific alendronate association are reviewed to provide a broader basis for evaluating their recently observed clinical and radiographic complications.
