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

Background: As life expectancy following lung transplantation (LT) improves, vulnerability to glucocorticoid-induced osteoporotic fractures is increased. Our institution offers LT recipients protocolized antiresorptive therapy, with zoledronic acid (ZA) used first line. Methods: Adults who underwent LT from January 2012 to December 2018 and survived at least 6 months were retrospectively studied. Coprimary outcomes were incidence, prevalence, and predictors of osteoporotic fractures and major osteoporotic fractures post-LT. Results: Four hundred and five LT recipients (41% female, median age 59 years) had a median follow-up of 4.9 years (interquartile range 3.4-6.7). Osteoporotic fracture prevalence was 12% ( Conclusion: LT recipients receiving protocolized antiresorptive treatment post-LT had a low incidence of osteoporotic fracture.
