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

backgroundPostmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is an estrogen deficiency-induced skeletal disorder. Bone mineral density (BMD) testing is the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis. However, its sensitivity for fracture risk assessment is low. Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is a key immune checkpoint molecule implicated in the pathophysiology of bone remodeling, but its role in osteoporosis has not yet been explored. Thus, this study aimed to assess the expression and diagnostic utility of PD-1 in PMOP.

methodsA total of 56 patients with PMOP and 37 postmenopausal healthy controls (NC) were enrolled in the study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation, and PD-1 expression was measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Pearson's correlation test was performed to explore the associations between PD-1 level and clinical variables, while receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the potential diagnostic value of PD-1 in patients with PMOP.

resultsWe found that PD-1 level was significantly upregulated in the PBMCs of PMOP patients than those of NC (P = .016). PD-1 expression was positively correlated with C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. ROC curve analysis showed that PD-1 had certain diagnostic value for PMOP (area under the curve = 0.65, standard error = 0.06, 95% confidence interval [0.53,0.76], P = .016), with a sensitivity and specificity of 44.64% and 81.08%, respectively.

conclusionProgrammed cell death protein 1 is significantly upregulated in the PBMCs of PMOP patients and has certain diagnostic value for PMOP.
