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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of calcitriol combined with denosumab versus calcitriol alone in postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMO). Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 306 postmenopausal women with PMO were divided into two groups: an intervention group (n = 144) receiving calcitriol, denosumab, and calcium/vitamin D3, and a control group (n = 162) receiving calcitriol and calcium/vitamin D3 only, over 12 months. Outcomes included bone mineral density (BMD), bone turnover markers, calcium-phosphate homeostasis, patient-reported outcomes (VAS, ODI, BI), and adverse events. Results: The intervention cohort demonstrated more pronounced enhancements in BMD measured at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip (all Conclusion: Calcitriol combined with denosumab synergistically enhances BMD, suppresses bone turnover, improves functional outcomes, and maintains a favorable safety profile in PMO, representing a promising therapeutic strategy.
