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

We investigated the efficacy of romosozumab in premenopausal women with low bone mass. Romosozumab substantially increased bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in these women, aligning with its proven therapeutic benefits for postmenopausal osteoporosis. PURPOSE: Romosozumab, an anti-sclerostin antibody, is a promising anabolic agent that increases bone formation and decreases bone resorption. However, its efficacy in premenopausal women with low bone mass remains understudied.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed premenopausal women with low bone mass treated with romosozumab (ROMO group) or drug-naïve patients (control group). Patients in the ROMO group were classified into the glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIOP), idiopathic osteoporosis (IOP), and pregnancy and lactation-induced osteoporosis (PLO) subgroups. Bone mineral density (BMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) were measured before and after one year of romosozumab treatment.

resultsTwenty-five patients in the ROMO group and five in the control group were included in the study. Among patients in the ROMO group, 12 were in the GIOP, 9 in the IOP, and 4 in the PLO subgroups. The mean age was 37.0 years [32.0-42.0], and the median body mass index was 18.8 kg/m

conclusionWe demonstrated romosozumab's efficacy in BMD increment in premenopausal women. Romosozumab may be a potential treatment option for premenopausal women with low bone mass, regardless of etiologies, although further research on fracture risk reduction is warranted.
