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

We conducted a randomized control study to compare the effects of pain, QOL, bone metabolism and fracture healing by administering bisphosphonate (BP) or weekly teriparatide preparation (W-TPTD) to 43 patients (5 males and 38 females) with fresh spinal vertebral compression fractures for osteoporosis. The patients were aged between 61 and 93 years old (mean 78.1 years). In principle, a MRI was used for any diagnosis of new vertebral fractures. From this study, lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD), after 24 weeks of administration, showed a significant increase (p < 0.05) in both the BP group (mean 5.3%) and in the W-TPTD group (mean 4.9%). The W-TPTD group showed a better Roland-Morris disability Questionnaire (RDQ) improvement throughout the whole period of the study compared with the BP group, the difference was statistically significant after 24 weeks of administration (p < 0.05). The EuroQol 5 dimensions (EQ-5D) and visual analogue scale (VAS) score significantly improved over time in both groups (p < 0.05). The fracture-healing rate was observed in 45% of the BP group and 73% of the W-TPTD group at Week 12, and a statistically significant higher fracture-healing rate was obtained in the W-TPTD group compared to the BP group (p < 0.05). The mean time of fracture-healing was 3.9 months for the BP group and 2.8 months in the W-TPTD group. Statistically significant faster fracture-healing was observed in the W-TPTD group (p < 0.05). At Week 12 and Week 24, P1NP was significantly higher in the W-TPTD group compared to that of the BP group (p < 0.05). TRACP-5b showed no major fluctuations during the study period in either group. These results suggest that W-TPTD may promote better fracture healing of any new osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures compared with a BP.
