Comparison between liraglutide alone and liraglutide in combination with insulin on osteoporotic rats and their effect on bone mineral density.
Article in Journal of musculoskeletal & neuronal interactions, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesTo compare the therapeutic efficacy of liraglutide (LRG) single drug combined with insulin (Ins) on osteoporosis in rats and its effect on bone mineral density (BMD). A rat model of diabetes combined with osteoporosis was established.
methods40 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups (blank, control, LRG and LRG+Ins). Serum levels of CrossLaps, procollagen type I N propeptide (PINP), alkaline phosphatase (AKP) and osteocalcin (BGP) were detected by ELISA. Blood glucose was measured by its reaction with glucose oxidase. Serum insulin was analyzed by radioimmunology. Bone calcium and phosphorus contents were also recorded. ELISA was used to detect inflammatory factors. Bone mineral density (BMD) measurement was also performed.
resultsBMD of the control group was significantly lower than that of the other three groups (p<0.05) and BMD of the LRG + Ins group was significantly higher than that of the LRG group (p<0.05). The inflammatory factors of the control group were significantly higher than those in the other three groups (p<0.05). The inflammatory factors were negatively correlated with BMD (p<0.05).
conclusionsliraglutide in combination with insulin for the treatment of diabetes complicated with osteoporosis can reduce blood glucose in vivo, promote production of islet, effectively improve osteoporosis symptoms, increase BMD and reduce the levels of inflammatory factors
