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

In cancer, multiple factors converge upon receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK) and its ligand (RANKL) signaling to promote the development of bone metastases; agents that inhibit RANKL signaling reduce skeletal-related events (SRE) in patients with cancer. In addition, RANKL signaling is important in augmenting the ability of dendritic cells (DC) to stimulate both naïve T-cell proliferation and the survival of RANK+ T cells. In this issue, Chang and colleagues using high-dimensional cytometry to evaluate immunomodulatory effects of denosumab in patients with advanced solid, observe early on treatment changes in multiple compartments, and greater effects in patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy or steroids. See related article by Chang et al., p. 453 (4).
