Evaluations of daily teriparatide using finite-element analysis over 12 months in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Observational study in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
introductionThe objective of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the effects of daily teriparatide on rheumatoid arthritis patients using predicted bone strength (PBS) assessed by quantitative computed tomography-based finite-element analysis (QCT/FEA) and using bone mineral density (BMD) assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and to prospectively investigate clinical determinants associated with PBS and BMD increases. MATERIALS AND
methodsParticipants comprised 39 patients (mean age, 69 years; disease activity score assessing 28 joints with CRP, 3.0; previous vertebral fractures, 82%) enrolled in this study. BMD by DXA and PBS by QCT/FEA of lumbar spine (LS) and proximal femur were measured at baseline, and after 6 and 12 months. In the groups showing increases in these values, variables that may have affected these increases were evaluated using univariate logistic regression analysis.
resultsDaily teriparatide treatment significantly increased not only LS BMD, but also LS PBS in RA patients with osteoporosis after both 6 and 12 months of treatment. Increases in N-terminal type I procollagen propeptide (PINP) at 1 and 3 months were significantly associated with increased LS PBS at 12 months according to univariate logistic regression analysis. The threshold value for increased PINP at 1 month for increased PBS at 12 months was 75 µg/L.
conclusionsIncreased LS PBS at 12 months was predicted by increased PINP at 1 month from baseline.
