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

introductionDenosumab therapy results in a sustained increase in BMD at the lumbar spine and hip and lower fracture rates during 10 years of treatment. However, data on efficacy and safety beyond 10 years are limited. We present the case of a female who demonstrated a large and continued rise in BMD after 10 years of denosumab therapy. CASE: An 80-year-old woman was referred to our Bone Health Clinic for advice regarding osteoporosis diagnosed 1 year earlier on routine DXA: lumbar spine T-score of -4.2 (0.585 g/cm DISCUSSION: This case illustrates that denosumab therapy beyond 10 years can be associated with significant further increases over a subsequent 3 years in BMD at both the lumbar spine and total hip. This may allow some patients to achieve a desirable treatment target, though future studies on safety and efficacy are needed.
