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

purpose of reviewInhibition of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) with denosumab is an effective treatment in a number of conditions including osteoporosis where suppression of bone resorption is desired. However, denosumab discontinuation is associated with rebound increase in bone resorption and subsequent loss in bone mass and a rapid return to baseline fracture risk. We review recent data on the rebound increase in bone resorption following denosumab discontinuation and the potential mechanisms behind this phenomenon. RECENT

findingsOsteoclasts have been considered to be highly specialised cells that undergo apoptosis after fulfilling their function of bone resorption. However, recent studies suggest that osteoclasts are longer lived cells which migrate through vasculature and are capable of undergoing fission into a novel cell type (the osteomorph) and re-fusion in a process termed osteoclast recycling. The life cycle of the osteoclast is more complex than previously appreciated. Osteoclast recycling provides a novel mechanistic framework to examine changes in osteoclast biology in response to treatment of bone diseases and provides an exciting new avenue towards personalised medicine.
