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

Aging is associated with a marked decline in bone mineral density (BMD), an increased likelihood of falling and a much greater propensity for fracture. Several factors contribute to aging-related bone loss, including reduced bone formation, increased bone resorption, recent bodyweight loss, poor nutritional status and the coexistence of other, often rheumatological, conditions. Any of these factors can lead to an uncoupling of the bone remodelling unit. In addition, the frequent use of glucocorticoids to treat a vast array of conditions has contributed to an ever-expanding group of elderly individuals who are at extremely high risk for spine and hip fractures. Owing to the surprisingly high morbidity and mortality associated with these fractures in the elderly, an understanding of the pathogenesis and epidemiology of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is paramount. The factors that contribute to bone loss in older individuals treated with glucocorticoids include reduced muscle mass, poor nutrition, hypogonadism, vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Recent studies suggest that a prophylactic approach to this problem could have a huge impact on the medical, social and economic costs of osteoporosis.
