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

summaryOsteopontin (OPN)-deficient mice are resistant to ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis. Therefore, we hypothesized that women with OPN overexpression may show less resistance to postmenopausal osteoporosis. In this study, we first demonstrated that serum OPN levels could be used as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.

introductionAnimal studies indicate that OPN-deficient mice are resistant to ovariectomy-induced osteoporosis.

methodsFrom 2004 to 2006, 124 women over the age of 45 were enrolled in a menopausal group, while another 95 women, from 25 to 45 years of age with regular menstruation, were enrolled into a childbearing age group. The serum concentrations of OPN were calculated using the enzyme-link immunosorbent assay method, and bone mineral densities were determined with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.

resultsSerum OPN levels had a significant positive correlation with age (menopausal group, p < 0.0001) and a negative correlation with body weight, height, hip bone mineral density, and T-scores in the menopausal group. In contrast, there was a positive correlation with the E2 concentration and height, but there was no significant association with the above variables in the childbearing age group. Additionally, high serum OPN levels (>14.7 ng/ml) was a significant risk factor causing menopausal osteoporosis (odds ratio = 2.96, 95% confidence interval, 1.055-8.345).

conclusionSerum OPN levels could be used as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
