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

introductionThe occurrence of early adverse events and the factors associated with these events in zoledronic acid-treated Japanese patients with osteoporosis were investigated. MATERIALS AND

methodsAll patients treated with zoledronic acid for the first time for primary osteoporosis were analyzed. Based on the history of bisphosphonate (BP) administration, the patients were divided into three groups: BP-switch, BP-washout, and naïve groups. The BP-washout and naive groups were combined into a non-BP group.

resultsA total of 184 patients with a mean age of 77.4 years were included. Acute phase reactions (APRs) occurred in 32 patients (17.4%). The significant risk factors were hospitalization (vs. outpatients), BP-switch (vs. non-BP), and age > 80 years (vs. ≤ 69 years), and the odds ratios were 5.63, 0.12, and 0.23, respectively. The serum calcium levels were significantly reduced in the non-BP group, regardless of the co-administration of active vitamin D

conclusionOccurrence of APRs might be lesser in clinical practice than in phase 3 clinical trials. Although serum calcium levels decreased in many cases, the decrease could be suppressed by the co-administration of active vitamin D
