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

Bisphosphonates are being increasingly used to treat pediatric patients with skeletal disorders. However, the effects of long-term bisphosphonate therapy and cessation of therapy during growth are unclear. Thus, studies were undertaken to determine the effects of alendronate discontinuation after treatment of C57Bl/6 mice during the period of rapid skeletal growth. Compared with vehicle-treated mice, 16 weeks of alendronate treatment starting at age 18 days resulted in a 3.7-fold increase in trabecular bone in the setting of suppressed bone formation. Alendronate therapy for 8 weeks followed by 8 weeks of vehicle treatment resulted in a more pronounced increase in trabecular bone compared with mice treated with alendronate for 16 weeks (1.7-fold) and to vehicle-treated controls (6.5-fold). Mice that received alendronate for 8 weeks followed by 8 weeks of vehicle exhibited increased osteoblast surface (2.5-fold), mineralizing surface (5.7-fold), and bone formation rate (5.1-fold) compared with mice treated continuously with alendronate. However, these parameters were not restored to the levels observed in the vehicle-treated mice. Thus, partial resumption of bone formation upon cessation of bisphosphonate therapy leads to a greater increase in trabecular bone than that found when bisphosphonates are administered continuously to growing mice. These data suggest that intermittent administration of bisphosphonates may optimize their beneficial effects on the growing skeleton. © 2017 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
