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

The central and peripheral skeleton was characterised using imaging techniques during 104 weeks of teriparatide treatment. Teriparatide exerts differential effects on the central and the peripheral skeleton. Overall, we did not observe a change in total body bone mineral. Our conclusions are constrained by the study limitations.

introductionTeriparatide stimulates bone formation and resorption and therefore can cause bone gain and loss. We simultaneously characterised the central and peripheral skeleton using imaging techniques to better understand the mechanism of action of teriparatide.

methodsPostmenopausal, osteoporotic women (n = 20, 65.4 ± 5.5 years) were recruited into a 104-week study of teriparatide. Imaging techniques included DXA, quantitative computed tomography (QCT), and high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT).

resultsTotal lumbar spine areal bone mineral content (aBMC) (+ 11.2%), total lumbar spine areal bone mineral density (aBMD) (+ 8.1%), subregional thoracic spine aBMD (+ 7.5%), lumbar spine aBMC (+ 23.5%), lumbar spine aBMD (+ 11.9%), pelvis aBMC (+ 9.3%), and pelvis aBMD (+ 4.3%) increased. However, skull aBMC (- 5.0%), arms aBMC (- 5.1%), legs aBMC (- 2.9%), and legs aBMD (- 2.5%) decreased. Overall, we did not observe a change in total body bone mineral. Increases in L1-L3 volumetric BMD (vBMD) (+ 28.5%) occurred but there was no change in total proximal femur vBMD. Radius and tibia cortical vBMD (- 3.3 and - 3.4%) and tissue mineral density (- 3.2 and - 3.8%) decreased and there was an increase in porosity (+ 21.2 and + 10.3%). Tibia, but not radius, trabecular inhomogeneity (+ 3.2%), and failure load (+ 0.2%) increased, but cortical thickness (- 3.1%), area (- 2.9%), and pore volume (- 1.6%) decreased.

conclusionsTeriparatide exerts differential effects on the central and the peripheral skeleton. Central trabecular vBMD (L1-L3) is improved, but there is a concomitant decrease in peripheral cortical vBMD and an increase in porosity. Overall, we did not observe a change in total body bone mineral. We acknowledge that our conclusions may be speculative and are constrained by the technical limitations of the imaging techniques used, the lack of a control group, and the small sample size studied.
