Association between Hemoglobin Level and Bone Mineral Density in Korean Adults.

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
backgroundLow bone mineral density (BMD) increases fracture risk. Anemia is highly prevalent. Some studies suggested that anemia is an independent risk factor for osteoporosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between hemoglobin (Hb) level and BMD in Korean adults.
methodsThis study was based on data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008 to 2011. Propensity score-matching was performed to establish a dataset for analysis. Regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between Hb and BMD. Mean BMD scores were compared between normal and anemia groups, and among normal, anemia with low ferritin, and anemia without low ferritin groups.
resultsThere were partial positive associations between Hb and BMD in men, but negative associations in women. The normal group had lower mean BMD scores than the anemia group in men. However, the anemia group had higher whole-body and lumbar-spine BMD scores than the normal group in women. In a comparison of the three groups, the anemia without low ferritin group had the lowest all-site BMD scores in men and women. However, the anemia with low ferritin group had the highest all-site BMD scores in women. In postmenopausal women, the anemia without low ferritin group had the lowest all-site BMD scores. In premenopausal women, the anemia with low ferritin group had the highest whole-body BMD scores.
conclusionsThis study found that Hb and anemia status were associated with BMD scores. However, the associations were different according to sex. This may be due to the etiology of anemia or low Hb levels.
