Raloxifene.
Review in Drugs & aging, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Raloxifene is a selective estrogen receptor modulator which mimics the effects of estrogens on bone and blood lipid levels without stimulatory effects on the breast or uterus. Raloxifene inhibits estrogen-dependent proliferation of human breast cancer cells in vitro and development of induced mammary tumours in rats in vivo. Raloxifene inhibits bone resorption induced by estrogen deficiency in murine and human studies and lowers serum cholesterol levels. In clinical studies in postmenopausal women, raloxifene 60 mg/day for 2 years significantly increased bone mineral density compared with placebo. In comparative clinical studies, raloxifene 60 mg/day had more modest effects than conjugated estrogens 0.625 mg/day on bone resorption and formation parameters and appeared to be less effective in increasing bone mineral density. In older postmenopausal women with existing bone fractures, raloxifene 60 or 120 mg/day for 1 year produced modest increases in bone mineral density. The most common treatment-related adverse events in raloxifene recipients were hot flushes and leg cramps. The risk of venous thromboembolic events is increased during raloxifene therapy. In contrast with conjugated estrogens 0.625 mg/day, raloxifene 200 or 600 mg/day for 8 weeks or 150 mg/day for 1 year did not produce endometrial proliferation.
