Enhanced bone healing and decreased pain in sacral insufficiency fractures after teriparatide treatment: retrospective clinical-based observational study.
Article in Clinical cases in mineral and bone metabolism : the official journal of the Italian Society of Osteoporosis, Mineral Metabolism, and Skeletal Diseases. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The purpose of this retrospective clinical-based observational study was to evaluate the effects of teriparatide (TPTD) on clinical outcomes and radiologic findings of sacral insufficiency fractures (SIFs). Seven elderly women with SIFs received TPTD for at least 6 months. We evaluated the symptoms, pain, and radiological findings. At their initial clinic visit, 86% patients could not walk or sit. Computed tomography (CT) images revealed sacral wing fracture in 6 patients, and bone scintigram showed H-shaped uptake over the bilateral sacral wings in 1 patient. After the treatment, 5 patients could walk. Mean visual analog scale score was significantly lower after (12.9 mm) than before (87.4 mm) TPTD treatment (p < 0.0001). CT images revealed bone union (four patients) and sclerotic changes (three patients) at the fracture sites. Seven elderly women with SIFs had significant improvement in pain and demonstrated bone union or sclerotic changes at fracture sites by TPTD.
