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

unlabelledThe results of the present study, involving analysis of biopsies from patients who received teriparatide for 2 years and were previously either treatment-naïve or on long-term alendronate therapy, suggest that prior alendronate use does not blunt the favorable effects of teriparatide on bone quality.

introductionExamine the effect of 2 years of teriparatide (TPTD) treatment on mineral and organic matrix properties of the newest formed bone in patients who were previously treatment-naïve (TN) or on long-term alendronate (ALN) therapy.

methodsRaman and Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopic analyses were used to determine the mineral/matrix (M/M) ratio, the relative proteoglycan (PG) content, and the mineral maturity/crystallinity (MMC; determined by three methods: carbonate content, full width at half height of the v 1 PO4 band [FWHH], and wavelength at maxima of the v 1 PO4 band), as well as collagen maturity (ratio of pyridinoline/divalent cross-links), in paired iliac crest biopsies at trabecular, endosteal, and osteonal surfaces of newly formed bone in postmenopausal osteoporotic women who were previously either TN (n = 16) or receiving long-term ALN treatment (n = 24).

resultsTrabecular M/M ratio increased and matrix content decreased significantly in the ALN pretreated group. Collagen maturity decreased in both patient groups. Endosteal M/M ratio increased significantly in the TN group. Trabecular M/M ratio was higher at endpoint in the ALN pretreated group than in the TN group. Overall, no changes from baseline were observed in PG content, except that PG content was higher in the ALN pretreated group than in the TN group at endosteal surfaces at endpoint. The ability of TPTD treatment to reduce MMC in both patient groups and at the different bone surfaces depended on the measurement tool (relative carbonate content or wavelength at maxima of the v 1 PO4 band). None of the changes in MMC were different between the two patient groups.

conclusionsThe results suggest some favorable impact of TPTD on bone mineral and organic matrix properties of in situ forming bone in terms of increased initial mineralization and decreased MMC and collagen maturity. Moreover, prior long-term ALN administration may have only limited influence on these properties in bone newly formed after 2 years of TPTD treatment.
