Denosumab for treating periprosthetic osteolysis: a feasibility study.
Trial report in BMC research notes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02299817 (Denosumab for Treating Periprosthetic Osteolysis After Uncemented Total Hip Arthroplasty A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial Using Volumetric Computed Tomography), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
objectiveWear-induced osteolysis is a leading cause of late failure in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Denosumab, a RANKL inhibitor, suppresses osteoclast activity and may slow osteolytic progression. This feasibility study aimed to assess the practicality of conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating Denosumab's effect on periprosthetic osteolysis in asymptomatic THA patients.
resultsTwelve patients were enrolled; ten completed follow-up. No significant difference in lesion volume change was observed between groups (Denosumab: +1.53 cm³; Placebo: +0.49 cm³). Secondary clinical outcomes also showed no notable differences. The trial protocol, recruitment, treatment, and follow-up were feasible, though slow enrollment limited statistical power. This study demonstrates the feasibility of a larger trial investigating Denosumab for osteolysis prevention.
