Clinical outcomes of twice-weekly teriparatide acetate administration in osteoporosis.

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
W2TPD, a twice-weekly teriparatide administration regimen, was used on 163 patients. The continuation rate was 47%, with only one new fracture. Even after performing antiresorptive therapy, spine BMD increased significantly in the majority of groups. W2TPD demonstrated good efficacy and tolerability in a real-world sequential osteoporosis treatment model. PURPOSE: Teriparatide is the most commonly administered daily, but there are also once-weekly and twice-weekly regimens. The former demonstrated high efficacy in increasing bone mineral density (BMD) and preventing new fractures; however, the continuation rate was reported to be low due to a high incidence of side effects. As a result, the twice-weekly teriparatide administration schedule (W2TPD) was created. In this study, we conducted a real-world clinical evaluation of its efficacy as part of a sequential osteoporosis treatment regimen.
methodsThe study included 163 patients with osteoporosis who were treated with W2TPD. Patients treated with W2TPD were divided into five groups based on their prior medication use: treatment-naïve (N), post-denosumab (post-D), post-bisphosphonate (post-B), post-romosozumab (post-R), and post-SERM (post-S). We examined treatment continuation rates, adverse events, and changes in BMD.
resultsThe overall treatment continuation rate was 47.9%, with only one patient developing a new fracture during treatment. Gastrointestinal side effects, such as heartburn, nausea, and vomiting, were common. The percent changes in spine BMD were 10%, 5.2%, 5%, - 1.5%, and 12.3% in the N, post-D, post-B, post-R, and post-S groups, respectively. Meanwhile, hips were found in 3.1%, 0.4%, 1.5%, 0%, and 2.2%, respectively. In terms of spine BMD, all groups except post-R had responder rates greater than 50%.
conclusionThe continuation rate of W2TPD was 47% and resulted in particularly favorable BMD gains in the spine. It was also discovered to be effective in increasing BMD even when following bisphosphonate treatment.
