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

Excluding clinical trials, there is limited evidence on the effect of 12 months of romosozumab treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) increase in real-world clinical practice because its use has only been approved recently. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the real-world effect of 12 months of romosozumab treatment on BMD increase and identify factors that predict the rate of BMD increase after 12 months of romosozumab treatment. We retrospectively investigated 106 patients who completed a 12-month romosozumab treatment for osteoporosis with a high risk of fractures at four hospitals from March 2020 to March 2022. The univariate and multiple regression analyses were performed to analyze the concurrent effects of various factors on the BMD increase after the 12-month romosozumab treatment. After 1 year of treatment, the lumbar spine BMD increased by 14.6%, and femoral neck BMD increased by 5.1%. Univariate regression analysis found that male sex, high tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP-5b) value before romosozumab administration, absence of osteoporosis medications before romosozumab administration, and low baseline lumbar spine BMD were associated with the extent of lumbar spine BMD increase. Moreover, stepwise multiple regression analysis found that the TRACP-5b value before romosozumab administration was a significant predictor of the rate of lumbar spine BMD increase after 1 year of romosozumab administration. In conclusion, our results demonstrated the effectiveness of the 12-month romosozumab treatment for osteoporosis with a high risk of fractures and the TRACP-5b value before romosozumab administration was a significant predictor of the rate of lumbar spine BMD increase after 1 year of romosozumab administration. Our findings could help establish more efficient treatment strategies for patients with osteoporosis at a high risk of fracture. © 2022 The Authors.
