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.

Abstract

• In women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, proposed denosumab biosimilar RGB-14-P demonstrated equivalent efficacy and pharmacodynamics, and similar immunogenicity and safety to reference denosumab. • RGB-14-P comprehensively replicates the therapeutic benefit of denosumab in a clinical setting. • Denosumab biosimilars, such as RGB-14, have potential to provide lower-cost alternatives to denosumab with comparable efficacy and safety. PURPOSE: To demonstrate the equivalence of the proposed denosumab biosimilar RGB-14-P and the reference denosumab (hereafter denosumab) in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

methodsIn this multicentre, double-blind, Phase 3 study (EudraCT 2020-006017-38; NCT05087030), participants were randomised 1:1 to subcutaneous RGB-14-P or denosumab 60 mg every 6 months, on Day 1 and Week 26, with follow-up to Week 52. Primary endpoints were percentage change from baseline (%CfB) in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at Week 52 and area under the effective curve (AUEC) of %CfB serum C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) to Week 26. Secondary endpoints included %CfB in total hip and femoral neck BMD, vertebral and non-vertebral fragility fractures, immunogenicity, and safety to Week 52.

resultsOverall, 473 participants were randomised and received study drug (RGB-14-P, n = 242; denosumab, n = 231). Both primary endpoints demonstrated equivalence of RGB-14-P and denosumab. Adjusted mean (95% CI) %CfB in lumbar spine BMD at Week 52 was 4.89 (3.55, 6.24) for RGB-14-P and 4.55 (3.22, 5.87) for denosumab (estimated difference, 0.34; 95% CI, - 0.40, 1.09). Geometric mean ratio in AUEC of %CfB in CTX concentration was 1.01 (95% CI, 0.98, 1.05; P = 0.494). There were no statistical differences in %CfB in total hip and femoral neck BMD. Incidence of vertebral or non-vertebral fragility fractures was comparable between treatments. Anti-drug antibody incidence was < 1% in both arms. Safety was comparable between groups.

conclusionIn women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, RGB-14-P demonstrated equivalent efficacy and pharmacodynamics, and similar immunogenicity and safety to denosumab.
