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

backgroundRecent study has reported that risedronate was effective in reducing periprosthesis bone loss after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The meta-analysis was performed to compare the clinical outcomes of THA with oral risedronate versus placebo.

methodsElectronic databases: PubMed (1950-March 2018), EMBASE (1974-March 2018), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Web of Science (1950-March 2018) were systematically searched. Two authors independently graded the methodological quality of each eligible study using the Cochrane Collaboration tool and extracted relevant data. Statistical heterogeneity among the trials were evaluated with chi-square and I-square tests. This meta-analysis was performed using STATA 14.0.

resultsA total of 4 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published between 2006 and 2015 were included in our study. The meta-analysis demonstrated that risedronate was associated with a significantly reduction of periprosthetic bone mineral density after THA. No increased postoperative complications were observed.

conclusionOral risedronate might reduce the periprosthetic bone resorption after cementless THA. Additionally, no severe adverse effects were observed. High-quality RCTs with large sample size were still required.
