Alendronate sodium demonstrates significant clinical advantages in treating osteoporosis secondary to severe fractures.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of alendronate sodium in patients with osteoporosis secondary to severe fractures.
methodsA total of 102 patients with post-fracture osteoporosis were retrospectively included in this study. The control group (n=45) received standard treatment, while the research group (n=57) was additionally administered alendronate sodium. Bone metabolism markers, pain intensity (assessed by Visual Analogue Scale [VAS]), bone mineral density (BMD), and overall therapeutic efficacy were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of therapeutic efficacy.
resultsCompared with the control group, the research group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in bone metabolism markers, VAS scores, BMD, and overall efficacy. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses further identified smoking history, alcohol abuse, and treatment modality as independent risk factors for treatment failure, while elevated serum bone Gla protein (BGP) levels were identified as a protective factor.
conclusionAlendronate sodium significantly improves clinical outcomes in treating patients with osteoporosis secondary to severe fractures.
