Treatment with romosozumab in patients with osteoporosis on maintenance hemodialysis.
Review 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. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundDialysis patients are at increased risk of fractures, particularly in the proximal femur where cortical bone predominates. Effective treatments targeting cortical bone are therefore essential. Romosozumab is a monoclonal antibody that simultaneously promotes bone formation and inhibits bone resorption. It is administered monthly in a clinical setting and continued for one year, offering a treatment regimen acceptable to patients. In dialysis patients, romosozumab has been shown to significantly increase bone mineral density not only in the lumbar spine but also in the proximal femur and femoral neck. However, since dialysis patients are at higher risk of cardiovascular events, the risks and benefits of romosozumab require careful consideration. KEY MESSAGES: Romosozumab effectively improves both trabecular and cortical bone mass in dialysis patients. Cardiovascular safety concerns necessitate cautious patient selection. Romosozumab offers medical and economic advantages over teriparatide.
