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

In this paper, we consider the importance of osteoporosis disease in terms of medical research and pharmaceutical industry and we introduce a knowledge discovery approach regarding the treatment of osteoporosis from a historical perspective. Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease in which osteoporotic fractures are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality and impaired quality of life. Osteoporosis has also higher costs, for example, longer hospital stays than many other diseases such as diabetes and heart attack and it is an attractive market for pharmaceutical companies. We use a freely available biomedical search engine leveraging text-mining technology to extract the drug names used in the treatment of osteoporosis from MEDLINE articles. We conclude that alendronate (Fosamax) and raloxifene (Evista) have the highest number of articles in MEDLINE and seem the dominating drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis in the last decade.
