Risedronate's efficacy: from randomized clinical trials to real clinical practice.
Article in Clinical cases in mineral and bone metabolism : the official journal of the Italian Society of Osteoporosis, Mineral Metabolism, and Skeletal Diseases, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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 represents the most common human bone disorder with a large medical and economical burden on the Health Care System. Bisphosphonates are the major drugs used for the treatment of osteoporosis. Differences in their chemical structures and pharmacokinetic actions can explain the different clinical efficacy among these molecules. Risedronate is a potent inhibitor of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase, but does not bind strongly to mineral; this lower mineral binding may enable risedronate to have a wider distribution in bone. Its antifracture efficacy has been established in several randomized phase III controlled studies that showed its value in the reduction of vertebral, non vertebral and hip fractures. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies demonstrated risedronate efficacy and safety in different subsets of patients, therefore risedronate is configured, among oral therapies currently available for osteoporosis, as a drug of first choice.
