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

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are often prescribed to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the long term, but there is still controversy in the administration of GCs, mainly because of the adverse reactions such as osteoporosis. Numerous studies have demonstrated that osteoporosis could be induced by GCs in normal rats. However, few experiments have focused on whether osteoporosis could be induced or aggravated by GCs in collagen induced arthritis (CIA) rats. We have investigated bone changes in CIA rats treated with prednisone at 4.5 mg/kg/day for 30 and 90 days by bone histomorphometry, bone mineral density (BMD), micro-CT, biomechanical test, and enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. We found that high bone turnover osteoporosis was shown in CIA rats. Prednisone treatment for 30 and 90 days improved articular structure and decelerated the degeneration of the femur in CIA rats, but did not improve BMD and bone biomechanics. We conclude that osteoporosis was not aggravated in CIA rats treated with prednisone for 30 and 90 days. On the contrary, prednisone treatment for 30 and 90 days could prevent bone loss of the femur in CIA rats. There was a negative effect on bone metabolism in CIA rats treated with prednisone for 90 days.
