Randomized crossover comparison of two teriparatide self-injection regimens for primary osteoporosis: final report of the Japanese Osteoporosis Intervention Trial 06 (JOINT-06).
Trial report in Journal of bone and mineral metabolism, 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
introductionAlthough bone anabolic agents such as teriparatide are effective for osteoporosis, satisfaction and adherence may vary by regimen. This multicenter study assessed long-term satisfaction, persistence, efficacy, and safety in postmenopausal women with primary osteoporosis treated with alternating daily and twice-weekly teriparatide over 52 weeks, followed by a final free-choice treatment period. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a randomized, open-label, crossover study, 358 postmenopausal women at high risk for fracture were assigned to receive once-daily (20 µg) or twice-weekly (28.2 µg) subcutaneous teriparatide for 26 weeks, then crossed over to the alternative regimen for another 26 weeks. Afterwards, 233 patients entered a 52-week free-choice period under their preferred regimen.
resultsAmong the 233 patients entering the free-choice period, 162 chose twice-weekly and 71 chose daily teriparatide. Persistence at 104 weeks was 90.1% for twice-weekly and 88.7% for daily groups (p = 0.749). Overall and treatment satisfaction between groups did not differ significantly at 104 weeks (p > 0.05). Fracture incidence was low and similar (2.8% vs. 1.2%, p = 0.758). Patients in both groups showed significant increases in bone mineral density at L2-L4 and the femoral neck (p < 0.05). Adverse events were infrequent and non-severe.
conclusionsPatient satisfaction and efficacy were maintained with both teriparatide regimens over 104 weeks, and persistence improved during the patient-choice phase. Supporting patient preference may improve adherence to osteoporosis medications. CLINICAL
