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

The curative effect and adverse reactions of pamidronate disodium in elderly patients with advanced metastatic bone cancer were evaluated. A total of 160 elderly patients with advanced metastatic bone cancer admitted to Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from February 2012 to January 2015, were divided into the chemotherapy group (n=60) that received routine therapy and the pamidronate disodium group (n=100) that received pamidronate disodium therapy based on the chemotherapy. Pain relief, analgesic time, analgesic duration and side effects were compared between the two groups after treatment. The effect of pain relief in the pamidronate disodium group was significantly higher than that in the chemotherapy group (P<0.001). The total effective rate of the pamidronate disodium group was significantly higher than that of the chemotherapy group (P<0.001). The analgesic onset time in the pamidronate disodium group was earlier than in the chemotherapy group (P<0.001). The analgesic duration in the pamidronate disodium group was longer than that in the chemotherapy group (P<0.001). The incidence of adverse reactions and complications after treatment in the pamidronate disodium group was significantly less than that in the chemotherapy group (P<0.001). The results indicated that pamidronate disodium is effective in the treatment of elderly patients with advanced metastatic bone cancer and patients are less prone to adverse reactions, complications and pain, which is worthy of clinical application.
