Denosumab Is Superior to Raloxifene in Lowering Risks of Mortality and Ischemic Stroke in Osteoporotic Women.

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
Both osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share similar pathways in pathophysiology and are intercorrelated with increased morbidity and mortality in elderly women. Although denosumab and raloxifene are the current guideline-based pharmacological treatments, their impacts on cardiovascular protection are yet to be examined. This study aimed to compare mortality rate and cardiovascular events between denosumab and raloxifene in osteoporotic women. Risks of CVD development and all-cause mortality were estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression. A total of 7972 (3986 in each group) women were recruited between January 2003 and December 2018. No significant difference between denosumab and raloxifene was observed in composite CVDs, myocardial infarction, or congestive heart failure. However, comparison of the propensity score matched cohorts revealed that patients with proportion of days covered (PDC) ≥60% had lower incidence of ischemic stroke in the denosumab group than that in the raloxifene group (aHR 0.68; 95% CI 0.47-0.98;
