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

purposeThere are limited clinical studies aimed at solving the problem of the efficiency of conventional treatment with oral phosphate and calcitriol in adults with hypophosphatemic osteomalacia (HO). In addition, there still had no good non-hazardous markers to evaluate the severity of bone loss of osteomalacia before and after treatment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of conventional treatment with a self-blended phosphate supplementation and calcitriol on patients with HO and whether bone mineral density (BMD) can be helpful for monitoring the efficacy. PATIENTS AND

methodsA total of 21 HO patients and 105 healthy controls were enrolled. All patients were tested for serum biomarkers and BMD of the lumbar spine (L1-L4), femoral neck, and total left hip. After three years of treatment, 11 of 21 HO patients were recalled for BMD measurement. According to the administration of drugs, HO patients with calcium and calcitriol were divided into three phosphate treatment groups: patients in group A (n = 3) received continuous phosphate supplementation, patients in group B (n = 5) received intermittent phosphate supplementation and patients in group C (n = 3) received no phosphate supplementation.

resultsThe diagnoses of 21 HO patients were 5 cases of hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets, 4 cases of Fanconi syndrome with the features of renal tubular acidosis and vitamin D deficiency, and 12 cases of hereditary vitamin D abnormality. The average initial serum phosphorus level of the patient group was approximately 50% lower than that of the control group. Lower BMD was significantly observed in the HO group than the control group at the lumbar spine and total hip. Continuous treatment with the phosphate supplement could increase BMD in the lumbar spine and total hip by 33.4-52.3% and in the femoral neck increased by 43.2-79.3% compared with baseline, and the effect appears to be continued once treatment is discontinued.

conclusionThese findings suggest that conventional therapy can improve bone mineral defects in patients with HO, especially in the femoral neck. Detection of BMD in HO patients is a good tool to assess the extent of bone defects and the therapeutic effect.
