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

Osteoporotic fractures in older men (>50 years of age) are common and associated with considerable mortality and morbidity, but osteoporosis in men is under-recognized and undertreated. Secondary osteoporosis is also common in men, and causes include androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer, glucocorticoid treatment and alcohol excess. Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of pharmacological osteoporosis treatments in men in terms of increasing BMD and decreasing levels of bone turnover markers; however, few trials have included fracture reduction end points. This Review will consider the pathophysiology of osteoporosis in men and the evidence for testing and treatment. The aims of the Review are to inform clinical practice, to discuss the current evidence base and to highlight the 2012 Endocrine Society clinical practice guidelines on osteoporosis in men.
