Comparison of the Efficacy of Zoledronate Acid or Denosumab After Switching from Romosozumab in Japanese Postmenopausal Patients.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
We aimed to compare the efficacy of switching from romosozumab (RMAb) to denosumab (DMAb) or zoledronic acid (Zol) with respect to changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism. We also aimed to determine predictors of changes in BMD among patients who received sequential therapy from RMAb. One hundred patients who received RMAb therapy were recruited for this study. A total 49 patients received bisphosphonate (BP) pre-treatment and 51 received active vitamin D3 analog pre-treatment or no treatment. Forty-two patients were switched to Zol (BP-RMAb-Zol; 20 and RMAb-Zol; 22), and 58 patients were switched to DMAb (BP-RMAb-DMAb; 29 and RMAb-DMAb; 29). Longitudinal changes in bone metabolic markers (P1NP and TRACP-5b) and BMD were also evaluated. In the BP-RMAb-Zol group, TRACP-5b increased after administration of Zol, and the mean BMD of the lumbar spine (LS) was significantly lower than those in the BP-RMAb-DMAb, RMAb-Zol and RMAb-DMAb groups at 24 months. The % changes in BMD of the LS after 24 months were associated with TRACP-5b values at baseline and at 12 months in patients who received Zol therapy, and with TRACP-5b value at baseline in patients who received DMAb therapy. The DMAb follow-on regimen could be considered more effective than Zol as a sequential agent for the enhancement of BMD after RMAb in patients with BP pretreatment. TRACP-5b, especially the baseline value, may predict the efficacy of sequential therapy from RMAb, as well as previous treatments.
