Association between urine albumin to creatinine ratio and bone mineral density: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundStudies on the association between urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) and bone mineral density (BMD) are still controversial.
aimsThis study investigated the association between ACR and BMD in the general US population.
methodsThis cross-sectional study identified 2007 individuals aged 40 or above years with complete and valid data on urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) and femoral neck, total femur and lumbar spine BMD from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2014. ACR was directly measured with established methods. BMDs were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). After adjusting for multiple covariates, we used general linear model (GLM) to compare the mean of BMD between the quartiles of ACR.
resultsThe mean age of participants in this study was 54.6 ± 11.3 years; 52.6% of them were female. ACR was negatively associated with BMD at femoral neck, total femur and lumbar spine (all P < 0.05). After adjusting for covariates, higher level of ACR quartile was associated with lower femoral neck BMD (P for trend = 0.032), but with not total femur and lumbar spine BMD (all P for trend > 0.05)).
conclusionACR was negatively associated with femoral neck BMD in the general US population. Future studies are warranted to confirm our results.
