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

Glucocorticoids (GCs) affect the Wnt signaling pathway, which is a key mechanism underlying GC-induced osteoporosis (GIOP). The efficacy of romosozumab (ROMO), an antibody targeting sclerostin-an inhibitor of Wnt signaling-in treating GIOP remains unclear, as does its effectiveness when used sequentially after bisphosphonates (BP). In this prospective observational study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ROMO as a sequential therapy following BP in patients with GIOP. Patients with rheumatic diseases receiving BP and GCs equivalent to 5 mg/d or more of prednisolone for at least 6 mo were enrolled and either switched from BP to ROMO (ROMO group) or continued on BP (BP group).
