Baseline mineralizing surface determines the magnitude of the bisphosphonate effect on cortical bone mineralization in postmenopausal osteoporotic patients.
Observational study in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
purposeTo determine the effect of short- or long-term bisphosphonate treatment on cortical bone mineralization density distribution (BMDD).
methodsBMDD was assessed by quantitative backscatter electron imaging in postmenopausal osteoporosis: in paired transiliac biopsy samples (n=36) at baseline and after 3 years risedronate treatment from a clinical study, in transiliac biopsy samples from patients who were treated with either risedronate (n=31) or alendronate (n=68) for 3 to 7 years from an observational study. Outcomes were related to premenopausal reference data (n=73) and to histomorphometric mineralizing surface per bone surface (MS/BS).
resultsIn the clinical study, patients with lower (below cohort median) MS/BS had normal cortical CaMean at baseline. After 3 years risedronate, their CaMean was not different versus baseline but increased versus reference (+2.9%, p=0.003). Among the groups of the observational study, CaMean did not exceed reference level, was similar for alendronate versus risedronate and similar between 3 to 5 years versus longer than 5 years treatment duration.
conclusionBaseline bone mineralizing surface appears to be important for the effect of bisphosphonate on cortical bone mineralization. In patients with lower baseline MS/BS, level of mineralization after treatment can exceed reference level. Whether this is beneficial in the long-term is unknown.
