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

backgroundTo compare the efficacy of 12-month denosumab treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) and bone turnover markers (BTMs) between treatment-naïve osteoporosis patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and those with previous bisphosphonate (BP) therapy.

methodsA total of 36 RA patients with osteoporosis completed 12-month follow-up. Twenty-five patients were osteoporotic treatment-naïve (naïve group), and 11 patients were previously treated with BPs (switch group) (average 7.9 years). BMD and BTMs were measured before and 6 and 12 months after treatment.

resultsBTM levels were higher in the naïve group at baseline. However, the same level of suppression was achieved at 6 months in both groups. Spine BMD increased significantly in both groups. There was no significant difference in the mean percent changes of BMD of the spine (naïve group: 6.8 ± 0.8, switch group: 5.1 ± 1.5), femoral neck (2.9 ± 1.4, 2.9 ± 1.3), and total hip (1.7 ± 0.9, 1.4 ± 1.1) between these two groups at 12 months.

conclusionsThe effects of denosumab on BMD and BTMs of the switch group after long-term BP treatment are comparable to those of the naïve group in RA patients. Thus, switching BPs to denosumab is one of the useful options to treat osteoporosis with RA.
