Inverse relationship of bone mineral density and serum level of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide in peritoneal dialysis patients.

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
objectiveChronic kidney disease is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD). In this study, the relationship between BMD and the fasting serum concentration of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) was evaluated in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsFasting blood samples were obtained from 52 PD patients. BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry of the lumbar vertebrae (L2-L4). The serum NT-pro-BNP level was measured by an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay.
resultsTen patients (19.2%) had osteoporosis, 23 patients (44.2%) had osteopenia, and 19 patients had normal BMD. Increased serum NT-pro-BNP (
conclusionA high serum level of NT-pro-BNP and low body weight were associated with poor BMD in PD patients.
