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

Romosozumab can increase bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteoporosis, but some patients do not respond to it. This study aimed to identify risk factors for being a nonresponder to romosozumab treatment. This retrospective observational study included 92 patients. Romosozumab (210 mg) was subcutaneously administered to the participants every 4 weeks over 12 months. We excluded patients who previously underwent treatment for osteoporosis to assess the impact of romosozumab alone. We evaluated the proportion of patients who did not respond to romosozumab treatment to the lumbar spine and hip with increased BMD. Nonresponders were defined as those with a bone density change of < 3% after 12 months of treatment. We compared demographics and biochemical markers between responders and nonresponders. We found that 11.5% of patients were nonresponders at the lumbar spine, and 56.8% were nonresponders at the hip. A risk factor for nonresponse at the spine was low type I procollagen N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) values at 1 month. The cutoff value for P1NP at month 1 was 50 ng/ml. We found that 11.5% and 56.8% of patients experienced no significant improvement in the lumbar spine and hip BMD, respectively. Clinicians should use nonresponse risk factors to inform decisions about romosozumab treatment for patients with osteoporosis.
