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

Osteomalacia is a bone disease caused by impaired skeletal mineralization. Vitamin D dependent types have to be distinguished from hypophosphatemic forms. Typical signs and symptoms include diffuse bone pain, muscle weakness and fragility fractures. The fracture pattern in osteomalacia is typically different from that of osteoporosis. Fragility fractures of the pelvis, sacrum, distal parts of the foot, proximal tibia and ribs are indicators for osteomalacia, whereas femoral neck and vertebral fractures (wedged vertebra, fish vertebra, vertebra plana and cover plate impression fractures) are typical for osteoporosis. Unspecific clinical features may be the reason for a delayed diagnosis. The correct classification of the complaint is dependent on the knowledge of the pathophysiology of osteomalacia and performance of additional bone-specific examinations. Determination of specific laboratory parameters should follow a rational algorithm, supplemented by imaging methods and a bone biopsy.
