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

Oestrogens exert an influence on skeletal homeostasis during growth and adulthood. Regulation of osteoclasts and osteoblasts generation and apoptosis and prolongation of the lifespan of osteocytes are some of their actions on bone metabolism. Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and associated loss of oestrogen action on osteoclasts leads to trabecular perforation and loss of connectivity. Lack of oestrogens acting on osteoblast progenitors also causes a decrease in critical bone mass. Postmenopausal hypoestrogenism is associated with an increase in the number of lymphocyte B-cells expressing nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in the bone marrow and elevated expression of RANKL by B-cells. Increased concentration of RANKL stimulates activation of osteoclasts and leads to oestrogen deficiency-associated bone loss. It has been proven that women with POI have decreased bone mineral density (BMD) measured in lumbar spine and femoral neck. The loss of bone mass associated with oestrogen deficiency is greater in trabecular than in cortical bone, thus women with POI have a significant decrease in BMD, particularly in the lumbar spine vertebrae. Smoking cessation, weight-bearing, and muscle-strengthening exercises on most days of the week, avoidance of excessive alcohol intake, and adequate supplementation of calcium and vitamin D are the main lifestyle rules necessary to avoid decline in BMD. The most important component of decreased BMD treatment in POI patients is systemic hormonal replacement therapy (HRT). HRT should provide hormonal balance and should mimic normal ovarian function as much as possible.
