Effects of isoflavones on bone turnover markers in peritoneal dialysis patients: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in International urology and nephrology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03773029 (Effects of Isoflavones on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors, Bone Metabolism Markers, Serum Concentrations of Fructoseamine and Advanced Glycated End Products in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
purposeThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of soy isoflavones on serum markers of bone formation and resorption in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
methodsIn this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 40 PD patients were randomly assigned to either the soy isoflavone or the placebo group. The patients in the soy isoflavone group received 100 mg soy isoflavones daily for 8 weeks, whereas the placebo group received corresponding placebos. At baseline and the end of the 8th week, 7 ml of blood was obtained from each patient after a 12- to 14-h fast and serum concentrations of bone formation markers (osteocalcin and bone alkaline phosphatase), bone resorption markers [N-telopeptide and receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL)], and osteoprotegerin as an inhibitor of bone resorption were measured.
resultsSerum N-telopeptide concentration decreased significantly up to 27% in the soy isoflavone group at the end of week 8 compared to baseline (P = 0.003). Also, serum RANKL concentration reduced significantly up to 17% in the soy isoflavone group at the end of week 8 compared to baseline (P = 0.03). These bone resorption markers did not significantly change in the placebo group during the study. There were no significant differences between the two groups in mean changes of serum osteocalcin, bone alkaline phosphatase, and osteoprotegerin.
conclusionThis study indicates that daily administration of 100 mg soy isoflavone supplement to PD patients reduces serum N-telopeptide and RANKL which are two bone resorption markers. CLINICALTRIALS.GOV: NCT03773029, 2018.
