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

A retrospective analysis comparing a teriparatide biosimilar (RGB-10) with reference teriparatide for osteoporosis treatment in postmenopausal women at high fracture risk found them to be therapeutically equivalent. Both provided significant improvements in lumber spine BMD, TBS, and other parameters of bone health, assessed using multiple diagnostic methods. PURPOSE: To compare the therapeutic efficacy of a teriparatide biosimilar (RGB-10) with reference teriparatide for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at very high fracture risk.

methodsA retrospective analysis of 25 postmenopausal female patients treated for osteoporosis with RGB-10 for 24 months and a matched cohort of 25 patients treated with reference teriparatide. The following outcomes were assessed at baseline, 12 and 24 months: bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and total hip using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and integral, trabecular and cortical volumetric and surface BMD using 3D-SHAPER

resultsNo significant differences were observed between treatment groups in any of the measured parameters of BMD or bone health at baseline as well as in any timepoint when assessed using these various diagnostic methods. Both compounds provided equivalent significant improvements from baseline in measures of osteoporosis and fracture risk.

conclusionThe results of the analysis demonstrate the therapeutic equivalence of the teriparatide biosimilar (RGB-10) to reference teriparatide for the treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women at very high risk of fracture.
