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

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis is the most common cause of secondary osteoporosis and constitutes an important health problem, associated with an increased risk of fractures, significant morbidity and mortality, and long-term decreased quality of life. Aging is linked to extensive multimorbidity, polypharmacy, physical and mental disability, and an increased risk of falls, rendering management of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in the older population particularly challenging. On a pathophysiological level, aging is associated with declining osteoblast activity, increased osteoclast activity, and increased bone marrow adiposity; effects that are all accentuated by glucocorticoids. In this narrative review, we discuss the pathophysiology of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, and focus on the mechanism of action, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the various pharmaceutical agents used in the treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis, as well as their efficacy, tolerability and safety, especially in older individuals.
