Common Variants in OPG Confer Risk to Bone Mineral Density Variation and Osteoporosis Fractures.

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
Although many common variants have been identified for bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis fractures, all the identified risk variants could only explain a small portion of heritability of BMD and osteoporosis fractures. OPG belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, which plays a crucial role in bone remodeling and is thus a promising candidate gene of osteoporosis. Several studies have explored the association of OPG variants with BMD or osteoporosis fractures, however, the results remain inconsistent among different populations. In the study, we first assessed the relationship between OPG variants and BMD or osteoporosis fractures in our sample size (227 subjects with postmenopausal osteoporosis and 189 controls), and then performed a systematic meta-analysis. Among the nine SNPs genotyped, rs6469804 and rs2073618 showed significant associations with both BMD and osteoporotic fractures, while rs3102735 was only associated with BMD in our samples (P < 0.05). For meta-analyses, data for a total of 12 SNPs were pooled (4725 patients and 37804 controls), and five SNPs, including rs6993813, rs6469804, rs3134070, rs2073618 and rs3102734, showed association with osteoporosis fractures (P < 0.05). On light of the above analysis, we believe that OPG is one promising susceptibility gene of BMD or osteoporotic fractures.
