High bone turnover status as a risk factor in symptomatic hypocalcemia following denosumab treatment in a male patient with osteoporosis.
Article in Clinical interventions in aging, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Denosumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody against the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) that is used for the treatment of osteoporosis. Denosumab-induced hypocalcemia is a rare but important adverse event, which is usually asymptomatic in patients with osteoporosis. It is also known that hypocalcemia is common in patients with bone metastases and severe renal impairment. Here we report a case of symptomatic hypocalcemia following administration of 60 mg of denosumab in a patient with high bone turnover and no renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR], 71 mL/min), despite prophylactic oral vitamin D administration. This report supports our observation that there is a risk of protracted and marked denosumab-induced hypocalcemia in patients with high bone turnover, irrespective of their degree of renal impairment.
