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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the expressions and clinical significance of bone Gla-protein (BGP), bone alkaline phosphatase (B-ALP) and C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) in patients with osteoporosis (OP), and to provide evidence for developing individualized treatment plans.

methodsSeventy-two OP patients in our hospital were selected as an OP group, and another 72 healthy subjects were used as a control group. Their BGP, B-ALP and CTX levels as well as bone mineral density (BMD) values were measured. The correlations between BGP, B-ALP and CTX levels and BMD values were determined.

resultsThe BGP level of the OP group [(5.61±5.52) ng/ml] was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), but the levels of B-ALP and CTX did not differ significantly (P>0.05). The BMD values of femoral neck and Ward's triangle in the OP group were negatively correlated with the B-ALP levels (P<0.05). For women OP patients, the BMD values of femoral neck and Ward's triangle were also negatively correlated with the B-ALP levels (P<0.05). The BMD of femoral neck in the control group was negatively correlated with the CTX level (P<0.05).

conclusionDetermining BGP, B-ALP and CTX levels can evaluate the bone metabolism degree, which provides evidence for clinical typing of OP and developing treatment strategies.
