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: The use of the osteoclastogenesis inhibitor denosumab is increasing in pediatrics, especially in the treatment of giant cell tumor or granuloma of bone or jaw, aneurysmal bone cyst, and other rare bone disorders. Particularly in pediatric patients, adverse kidney effects-such as acute kidney injury (AKI), hypertension, and nephrocalcinosis-are a significant concern that has received little attention. Case-diagnosis/treatment: In this report, we present three children who developed hypercalcemia-related AKI six months after discontinuation of denosumab treatment. Treatment of the hypercalcemia consisted of hyperhydration, and administration of furosemide, denosumab or bisphosphonate. Conclusions: Clinicians should be aware of the side effects of denosumab for at least seven months after discontinuation of denosumab. Early diagnosis and prompt management of hypercalcemia will result in recovery of AKI, however long-term consequences cannot be ruled out.
