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

purpose of the reviewOsteoporosis requires life-long management. This involves the use of different drugs in various sequences followed by long-term maintenance therapy. This review highlights the important transitions among osteoporosis therapies and outlines a strategy of intermittent bisphosphonate therapy for long-term maintenance. RECENT

findingsOver the past few years, the effects and limitations of long-term treatment with bisphosphonates and denosumab have become apparent as have several key factors in the sequential use of anti-remodeling drugs and osteoanabolic agents. Strategies for transitions from estrogen, bisphosphonates, denosumab and the bone-forming drugs will be discussed, based on extant evidence, clinical experience and expert opinion. By appropriate selection of both the initial and subsequent drugs for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, therapeutic benefits can be optimized and safety issues minimized. Developing a strategy for long-term maintenance of the benefits of the initial therapies can provide a life plan for managing patients with osteoporosis.
