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 reviewThe role of wnt signalling in atherogenesis raises the possibility that the wnt inhibitor, sclerostin, provides a natural defence to this process, and that anti-sclerostin antibodies might increase the risk of atherosclerosis and associated conditions such as CVD. This article aims to triangulate evidence concerning possible adverse effects of sclerostin inhibition on CVD risk. RECENT

findingsRandomised controlled trials of treatment with the anti-sclerostin antibody, romosozumab, have yielded conflicting evidence with respect to possible adverse effects of sclerostin inhibition on CVD risk. To further examine the causal relationship between sclerostin inhibition and CVD risk, three Mendelian randomisation (MR) studies have examined effects of sclerostin lowering on CVD outcomes, using common genetic variants in the SOST gene which produces sclerostin, to mimic effects of a randomised trial. Concordant findings were seen in two studies, comprising an effect of sclerostin lowering on increased risk of MI and type II diabetes mellitus. One study also suggested that sclerostin lowering increases coronary artery calcification. Triangulation of evidence from different sources provides some suggestion that sclerostin lowering increases MI risk, supporting the need for CVD risk assessment when considering treatment with romosozumab.
