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

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) is the most common form of secondary osteoporosis. Fractures occur in 30-50% of patients with GIO. Therefore, treatment of this disease is critical. Although patients should receive supplemental calcium and vitamin D, additional measures are necessary to prevent fractures. Estrogens and androgens may be of value in patients with hypogonadism, but bisphosphonates and teriparatide are the most effective agents in the treatment of GIO. Bisphosphonates prevent the early bone loss that follows exposure to glucocorticoids, and which has been attributed to increased resorption. Teriparatide appears to be more effective than alendronate in established GIO when reduced bone formation is the predominant pathophysiological mechanism. In conclusion, GIO can be prevented and treated with appropriate medical intervention.
