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

Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease which predisposes to fragility fractures with high morbidity and economic impact, and, therefore, the goal of any osteoporosis treatment is to reduce the fracture risk. In the various forms of osteoporosis an imbalance between bone resorption and apposition is present, that generally leads to a reduction of bone mineral density and bone quality, and finally to the increased fracture risk. Nowadays, several drugs are available with a demonstrated anti-fracturative effect obtained by inhibiting bone resorption or stimulating bone formation. However, their use is not free from limitations and side effects. Importantly, to date, the available antiresorptive drugs have also an inhibiting, though to a lesser extent, effect on bone apposition and, similarly, the anabolic drugs lead to an increase also of bone resorption. Advances in our knowledge about bone biology, with molecular insights into mechanisms underlying osteoblast, osteoclast, and osteocyte activity, have led to the recognition of new potential targets and consequently to the formulation of new therapeutic agents to treat osteoporosis. New potential developments among the antiresorptive drugs include cathepsin K inhibitors and among the osteoanabolic drugs those activating the Wnt signaling pathway, such as the monoclonal antibodies against sclerostin. The novelty of these compounds is that their mechanism of action gives the exciting possibility to uncouple bone resorption and bone formation, and data available so far appear to be promising. Finally, several new therapeutic targets are under investigation in preclinical studies which could open further approaches to treat osteoporosis in the future.
