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

Previous studies have demonstrated the effects of sclerostin antibody (Scl-Ab) and parathyroid hormone (1-34, PTH) on healing in osteoporosis; however, reports about the combined effects of Scl-Ab plus PTH on osteoporosis are limited. This study was designed to investigate the impact of combined treatment with Scl-Ab and PTH on osteoporosis healing in ovariectomized (OVX) rats. After bilateral ovariectomy, 12 weeks were allowed to pass for the establishment of standard conditions for osteoporosis in animal models. The rats then randomly received a vehicle (control), Scl-Ab (25 mg/kg body weight, twice weekly), PTH (60 μg/kg, three times per week) or PTH plus Scl-Ab until death at 12 weeks. The blood and distal femurs of the rats were harvested for evaluation. The results of treatment for osteoporosis were evaluated by serum analysis, histology, microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) and biomechanical tests. Results from this study indicated that PTH + Scl-Ab had stronger effects on the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis than either of the monotherapies in OVX rats. The PTH + Scl-Ab produced the strongest effects on bone volume fraction (BV/TV), bone trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), trabecular number (Tb.N) and trabecular spacing (Tb.Sp), bone mineral density (BMD) and strength of distal femurs and increased the levels of procollagen type I N‑terminal propeptide (PINP) and osteocalcin. In contrast, monotherapy with PTH or Scl-Ab showed no differences between treated groups in the assessment of the metaphysis of contralateral femurs by histology, serum, biomechanical tests and micro-CT. These results seem to indicate that Scl-Ab plus PTH has an additive effect on osteoporosis in OVX rats.
