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

Bone and mineral disorders are highly prevalent in solid organ transplant recipients. These patients are at high risk for osteoporosis and fragility fractures due to several pre- and post-transplant factors, including end-stage organ disease leading to chronic malnutrition and osteomalacia, as well as chronic immunosuppressive therapy that has direct adverse effects on bone remodeling. Low pre-transplant bone mineral density is associated with an increased risk for fragility fracture post-transplant. Furthermore, there is a precipitous loss of bone density within 6-12 months post-transplant due to a myriad of causal factors. In this review, we will elaborate on the treatment options and challenges in management of osteoporosis in solid organ recipients using vitamin D, calcium, bisphosphonates, denosumab, and osteoanabolic agents. The greatest body of evidence discusses the use of bisphosphonates, with most patients benefiting from early treatment.
