Review in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Strontium ranelate is a medicine with evidenced effects on the risk of fractures. The heterogeneity of strontium distribution in bone, quality of bone mineral crystals in young bone packets on bone surfaces formed during strontium ranelate administration, and activation of the calcium sensing receptor may, at least partially, explain the beneficial effects of SrR on reducing the risk of fractures. In this review, the concept of the dual action of strontium ranelate is also discussed. However, sufficient evidence for the bone anabolic effect of SrR does not exist in humans. The knowledge of the mechanism of action of SrR is important not only for the explanation of the effects of SrR upon the skeleton, but also for the safety of treatment for other tissues.
