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

purposeBone is one of the main targets of hormones and endocrine diseases are frequent causes of secondary osteoporosis and fractures in real-world clinical practice. However, diagnosis of skeletal fragility and prediction of fractures in this setting could be a challenge, since the skeletal alterations induced by endocrine disorders are not generally captured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurement of bone mineral density (BMD), that is the gold standard for diagnosis of osteoporosis in the general population. The aim of this paper is to review the existing evidence related to bone quality features in endocrine diseases, proposing assessment with new techniques in the future.

methodsA comprehensive search within electronic databases was performed to collect reports of bone quality in primary hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hypercortisolism, growth hormone deficiency, acromegaly, male hypogonadism and diabetes mellitus.

resultsUsing invasive and non-invasive techniques, such as high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography or DXA measurement of trabecular bone score (TBS), several studies consistently reported altered bone quality as predominant determinant of fragility fractures in subjects affected by chronic endocrine disorders.

conclusionsAssessment of skeletal fragility in endocrine diseases might take advantage from the use of techniques to detect perturbation in bone architecture with the aim of best identifying patients at high risk of fractures.
