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

Osteoporosis is characterized by the occurrence of fragility fractures. Over the past years, various treatment options have become available, mostly antiresorptive agents such as bisphosphonates. However, antiresorptive therapy cannot restore bone mass and structure that has been lost due to increased remodeling. In this case, recombinant human parathyroid hormone (PTH) analogues-the full-length PTH(1-84) or the shortened molecule PTH(1-34), which is also known as teriparatide-present the possibility of increasing the formation of new bone substance by virtue of their anabolic effects. The bone formation induced by PTH analogues not only increases BMD or bone mass but also improves the microarchitecture of the skeleton, thereby leading to improved strength of bone and increased mechanical resistance. Controlled trials have shown that both analogues significantly reduce the incidence of vertebral fractures, and PTH(1-34) also reduces the risk of nonvertebral fractures. The need for daily self-injection and the higher cost compared with other forms of treatment limit the widespread use of PTH analogues. Nevertheless, treatment with PTH analogues should be considered in postmenopausal women and men with severe osteoporosis, as well as in patients on established glucocorticoid treatment with a high fracture risk. Concurrent therapy with antiresorptive agents should be avoided, but sequential therapy with these agents might consolidate the beneficial effects on the skeleton.
