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

contextThe optimal management of pregnancy and lactation-associated osteoporosis (PLO) has not been designated.

objectiveTo systematically review the best available evidence regarding the effect of different therapeutic interventions on bone mineral density (BMD) and risk of fractures in these patients.

methodsA comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed/Scopus databases until December 20, 2022. Data were expressed as weighted mean difference (WMD) with 95% CI. The I2 index was employed for heterogeneity. Studies conducted in women with PLO who received any antiosteoporosis therapy were included. Studies including women with secondary causes of osteoporosis or with transient osteoporosis of the hip were excluded. Data extraction was independently completed by 2 researchers.

resultsSixty-six studies were included in the qualitative analysis (n = 451 [follow-up time range 6-264 months; age range 19-42 years]). The increase in lumbar spine (LS) BMD with calcium/vitamin D (CaD), bisphosphonates, and teriparatide was 2.0% to 7.5%, 5.0% to 41.5%, and 8.0% to 24.4% at 12 months, and 11.0% to 12.2%, 10.2% to 171.9%, and 24.1% to 32.9% at 24 months, respectively. Femoral neck (FN) BMD increased by 6.1% with CaD, and by 0.7% to 18% and 8.4% to 18.6% with bisphosphonates and teriparatide (18-24 months), respectively. Meta-analysis was performed for 2 interventional studies only. Teriparatide induced a greater increase in LS and FN BMD than CaD (WMD 11.5%, 95% CI 4.9-18.0%, I2 50.9%, and 5.4%, 95% CI 1.2-9.6%, I2 8.1%, respectively).

conclusionDue to high heterogeneity and lack of robust comparative data, no safe conclusions can be made regarding the optimal therapeutic intervention in women with PLO.
