Low Bone Mineral Density and High Bone Turnover in Patients With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) Who Receive Frontline Therapy: Results of a Multicenter Prospective Study.
Article in HemaSphere, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Chemotherapy associated osteoporosis is a severe problem in patients with malignant diseases as it increases the risk for fractures and deteriorates quality of life. There are very limited data in the literature for the effect of chemotherapy on bone metabolism of adult patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). We prospectively evaluated bone remodeling pre- and post-chemotherapy in 61 patients with newly diagnosed NHL. First-line chemotherapy resulted in high bone turnover, which led to increased bone loss and reduced bone mineral density (BMD) of lumbar spine (L1-L4) and femur neck (FN). The reduction of L1-L4 and FN BMD post-chemo was more profound in males and in older patients (>55 years). Patients who received 8 cycles of chemotherapy had a greater reduction of L1-L4 and FN BMD as compared to 6 cycles. The administration of chemotherapy also resulted in a dramatic increase of bone resorption markers (CTX and TRACP-5b), bone formation markers, (bALP and Osteocalcin) and of osteoblast regulator Dickkopf-1. During study period, one patient had a pathological fracture in his right FN.
