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

Changes in bone mineral density and bone metabolic indexes in a model of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) mice complicated with osteoporosis (OP) were investigated. BLAB/c mice were used as the subjects. AS was induced using proteoglycan, and OP was induced using tail suspension method. The mice were randomly divided into four groups: AS group, OP group, AS + OP group and negative control group. Changes in bone mineral density, bone strength, serum calcium (Ca), phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRACP), in mice of each group were detected and compared. There were statistically significant differences in bone mineral density and bone strength among groups. Compared with the negative control group, bone mineral density and bone strength in the AS, the OP and the AS + OP groups were significantly decreased, and the lowest bone mineral density and bone strength were found in the AS + OP group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in bone mineral density and bone strength between the AS group and the OP group. Significant differences in serum Ca, ALP and TRACP but not in serum phosphorus were found among groups. Compared with the control group, serum levels of Ca and TRACP in the AS, the OP and the AS + OP groups were significantly increased, while levels of ALP were obviously decreased (P<0.05). Bone destruction in AS mice complicated with osteoarthritis was more serious than that in mice with simple AS.
