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

Bone metastases can be associated with a significant worsening of patient morbidity and mortality. Bisphosphonates have been extensively researched and shown to delay the onset and reduce the incidence of complications from bone metastases. The most commonly used bisphosphonates are intravenous pamidronate, intravenous ibandronate, intravenous zoledronic acid and oral/intravenous clodronate. Several bone-targeted agents with innovative mechanisms of action are currently being developed. These include receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand (RANKL) inhibitors, CCR1 inhibitors, Src inhibitors, DKK1-neutralising antibodies, activin antagonists and endothelin-1 inhibitors. In an era of individualised medicine, oncologists are being faced with an increasing number of questions when dealing with bone-targeted agents. These questions not only include the choice of which drug to use (i.e. bisphosphonates or RANKL inhibitor) but also the best treatment strategy to use. This review will provide medical oncologists with a practical guide to the use of bone-targeted agents.
