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

Osteoporosis (OP) is a metabolic bone disease that can cause structural changes in bone marrow cavity. Bone marrow is the hematopoietic organ of adults. Accumulating evidence has shown a close connection between bone marrow hematopoietic function and bone formation. Some studies have revealed that OP is associated with hematopoiesis. However, the relationship is not definite.This study aimed to evaluate the association between peripheral blood cell counts (white blood cells [WBC], red blood cells [RBC], platelets [PLT]), hemoglobin [HGB], and bone mineral density [BMD]) in a sample of Chinese postmenopausal women. This is a retrospective study involving 673 postmenopausal women cases. The BMD of lumbar spine and left hip joint were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The levels of blood cell counts and HGB were measured and analyzed.The study results showed the WBC, RBC, PLT, and HGB levels of postmenopausal women in the OP group were all higher than those in the non-osteoporosis group. Spearman linear trend analysis and partial correlation analysis demonstrated that BMD was negatively correlated with WBC, RBC, PLT, and HGB in postmenopausal women.Due to the differences between different countries and races, and there are few studies on the association of BMD with peripheral blood cell counts and HGB in Chinese Postmenopausal Women. Therefore, more large sample studies are needed.
