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

aimDepression is a common symptom in people with osteoporosis. (R)-ketamine produced greater potency and longer-lasting antidepressant-like actions than (S)-ketamine in rodents. Here, we examined the effects of two ketamine enantiomers on the reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in the ovariectomized (OVX) mice which is an animal model of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

methodsFemale ddY mice were OVX or sham-operated. Subsequently, saline (10 mL/kg/d, twice weekly), (R)-ketamine (10 mg/kg/d, twice weekly), or (S)-ketamine (10 mg/kg/d, twice weekly) was administered intraperitoneally into OVX or sham mice for the 6 weeks. The femur from all mice was collected 3 days after the final injection, and BMD in the femur was measured.

resultsThe reduction of cortical BMD and total BMD in the OVX mice was significantly ameliorated after subsequent repeated intermittent administration of (R)-ketamine, but not (S)-ketamine.

conclusionThe study shows that (R)-ketamine can ameliorate the reduced cortical BMD and total BMD in OVX mice. Therefore, (R)-ketamine would be a novel therapeutic drug for women with osteoporosis.
