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

In this study, QCT was used to analyze the AGN1 Local Osteo-Enhancement Procedure (LOEP) as a treatment to form bone in the proximal femurs of patients with osteoporosis. Using this minimally invasive procedure, a resorbable triphasic AGN1 implant material was injected into the left femurs of 12 women with post-menopausal osteoporosis. Computed tomography scans were taken before treatment (baseline) and at 12 wk, 24 wk, and 5-7 yr after treatment. Quantitative computed tomography was used to investigate the resorption of AGN1 within the treated proximal femurs and to analyze the treatment's impact on integral, trabecular, and cortical bone. The untreated right femurs were used as controls. Data illustrated an increase in trabecular volumetric BMD (trab vBMD) of treated hips at all timepoints (baseline: 22 ± 21 mg/cm
