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

Teriparatide is a recombinant human parathyroid hormone analog with anabolic mechanism of action utilized in the treatment of osteoporosis with well-established clinical efficacy. Its use is significantly hindered due to label warnings resulting from pre-clinical rat studies demonstrating an increased risk of osteosarcoma. However, clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance studies did not demonstrate any increased risk of osteosarcoma, even after prolonged periods of surveillance reaching up to 15 years, with most of the identified cases of osteosarcomas being solitary and predominantly attributed to other factors. This systematic review provides a comprehensive overview of the currently available literature and provides the highest level of clinical evidence towards demonstrating the lack of any substantial evidence towards osteosarcoma development in patients utilizing TPTD.
