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

introductionThyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH)-suppressive therapy is recommended after surgical treatment in high-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients. TSH-suppressive therapy is a known risk factor for osteoporosis and fractures. However, whether patients with PTC themselves are at a higher risk of osteoporosis than healthy individuals remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify whether PTC is a risk factor for osteoporosis. MATERIALS AND

methodsSerum and urinary biochemical parameters, bone mineral density (BMD), and presence of vertebral fractures (VFs) and non-VFs were evaluated in 35 PTC patients and 35 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals. We compared the parameters between PTC and control subjects and performed multiple logistic regression analyses after adjustments for variables.

resultsPatients with PTC had higher body mass index (BMI) and hemoglobin (Hb)A1c, as well as lower eGFR and intact PTH than controls (p < 0.05, each). There were no significant differences in the prevalence of osteoporosis and VFs and non-VFs between patients with PTC and controls. However, the prevalence of severe osteoporosis diagnosed according to WHO criteria was significantly higher in PTC subjects (34.3%) than in controls (11.4%, p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analyses adjusted for age, BMI, eGFR and HbA1c identified PTC as being associated with the presence of severe osteoporosis (odds ratio, 4.20; 95% confidence interval, 1.05-16.8; p < 0.05).

conclusionsWe identified PTC as a risk factor for severe osteoporosis, independent of BMI, renal function and glucose profile.
