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
summaryUrinary excretion of calcium tracers in labeled individuals decreases in response to antiresorptive therapy, providing a tool to rapidly screen potential therapies. Using teriparatide, we demonstrate in this study that anabolic therapy also decreases tracer excretion, confirming that this method can also be used to screen potential anabolic therapies.
introductionChanges in urinary excretion of calcium tracers from a labeled skeleton may be a rapid and sensitive method to screen potential therapies for osteoporosis. This method has been used to screen antiresorptive therapies, but the effect of anabolic therapies on tracer excretion is unknown.
methodsEight-month-old female Sprague Dawley rats (n = 11) were given 50 μCi (45)Ca iv. After a 1-month equilibration period, baseline urinary (45)Ca excretion and total bone mineral content (BMC) were measured. Rats were then treated with 30 μg/kg teriparatide sc per day, a bone anabolic agent, for 80 days. Urine was collected throughout the study and analyzed for (45)Ca and total Ca, and BMC was measured at the beginning and end of the study.
resultsTeriparatide decreased urinary (45)Ca excretion by 52.1 % and increased BMC by 21.7 %. The change in bone calcium retention as determined by the ratio of (45)Ca to total Ca excretion in urine from day 6 through 15 of teriparatide treatment was significantly correlated (p = 0.036) with the change in BMC after 80 days of teriparatide treatment.
conclusionUrinary excretion of calcium tracers from labeled bone is an effective method to rapidly screen potential anabolic therapies for osteoporosis.
