The essential role of combined calcium and vitamin D supplementation in the osteoporosis scenario in italy: Expert opinion paper.
Review in Archives of osteoporosis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
An Italian multidisciplinary working group discussed the current Italian scenario of osteoporosis management during a meeting and highlighted the essential role of calcium and vitamin D supplementation in the prevention of fragility fractures. PURPOSE: This paper aims to review and discuss data on calcium and vitamin D requirements and the role of combined calcium and vitamin D supplementation in the treatment of patients with osteoporosis.
methodsThe discussion of the experts covered literature data on calcium and vitamin D supplementation, gaps in the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, and the role of the primary care physician in identifying and treating patients with osteoporosis. Articles for consideration were identified through PubMed searches using different combinations of pertinent keywords.
resultsThe discussion highlighted that insufficient calcium or vitamin D intake increases the risk of fragility fractures. The experts also drew attention to the essential role of calcium and vitamin D supplementation in achieving an anti-fracture effect and supporting the efficacy of anti-osteoporotic agents without increasing nephrolithiasis and cardiovascular risks. In addition, the discussion underlined the role of the primary care physician in the initial clinical approach to patients with osteoporosis.
conclusionsThe experts believe that efficient treatment for patients with osteoporosis should include calcium and vitamin D supplementation to achieve adequate levels that are able to inhibit the parathyroid hormone and bone resorption.
