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

Abaloparatide (previously known as BA058) is a synthetic 34-amino acid peptide and novel selective activator of parathyroid hormone receptor 1 (PTHR1) currently under development as a new anabolic agent in the management of osteoporosis. This paper reviews the profile and potential of abaloparatide in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. This paper is based on clinical trials and a PubMed search. Search terms used were "abaloparatide", "BA058", and "PTHrP". This review outlines the effects of this anabolic PTHR1 activator, which increases bone mineral density in patients at high risk for osteoporosis. The potential adverse effects of abaloparatide are also summarized. Abaloparatide has 41% homology to parathyroid hormone (PTH) (1-34) and 76% homology to parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) (1-34). The molecule was meticulously selected to retain stability and potent bone anabolic activity, and it has a limited effect on bone resorption (hence, a low calcium-mobilizing potential). Abaloparatide has shown promising results in a reduction of new onset vertebral (approximately 86% reduction) and nonvertebral fractures (approximately 43% reduction). In clinical trials to date, abaloparatide appears to have a good safety and tolerability profile with a significantly lower degree of hypercalcemia compared to that of teriparatide. Based on the clinical trials, the optimum dose of abaloparatide is 80 mcg subcutaneous once daily.
