Bone Turnover Marker (BTM) Changes after Denosumab in Giant Cell Tumors of Bone (GCTB): A Phase II Trial Correlative Study.
Article in Cancers, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Background: Giant cell tumors of bone (GCTB) are osteolytic tumors. Denosumab, a RANK-L inhibitor, is approved for GCTB. Data on serum bone turnover marker (sBTM) changes are lacking. We present a phase II correlative study on sBTMs in GCTB patients treated with denosumab. Methods: All GCTB patients receiving denosumab within a multicentre, open-label, phase 2 study were enrolled. Serum levels of carboxyterminal-crosslinked-telopeptide of type I collagen (s-CTX), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone-alkaline phosphatase (bALP), parathyroid hormone (sPTH), and osteocalcin (OCN) were prospectively assessed (baseline, T0, 3 months, T1, 6 months, T2). The primary endpoint was assessment of sBTM changes after denosumab; the secondary endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS) and sBTM correlation. Results: In 54 cases, sBTMs decreased during denosumab treatment except for sPTH. With a median follow-up of 59 months, 3-year DFS was 65% (%CI 52−79), with a significantly worse outcome for patients with high (≥500 UI/mL) s-CTX at baseline, as compared to low s-CTX (<500 UI/mL) (3-year DFS for high CTX 45% (95%CI 23−67) vs. 75% (95%CI 59−91) for low s-CTX. Higher median ALP and s-CTX were found for patients with tumor size ≥ 5 cm (p = 0.0512; p = 0.0589). Conclusion: Denosumab induces ALP/OCN and s-CTX reduction. High baseline s-CTX identifies a group of patients at higher risk of progression of the disease.
