Prediabetes and insulin resistance are associated with lower trabecular bone score (TBS): cross-sectional results from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation TBS Study.

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
In pre- and early perimenopausal women, prediabetes (with blood glucose ≥ 110 mg/dL) and greater insulin resistance are associated with worse trabecular bone quality (as assessed by trabecular bone score). PURPOSE: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with lower trabecular bone score (TBS) and fracture; less certain is whether the precursor states of prediabetes and increased insulin resistance are also related to adverse bone outcomes. We examined, in women who do not have DM, the associations of glycemic status (prediabetes vs. normal) and insulin resistance with TBS.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data collected from 42- to 52-year-old, pre- and perimenopausal participants in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) TBS Study. Women with prediabetes were categorized as having either high prediabetes if their fasting glucose was between 110 and 125 mg/dL or low prediabetes if their fasting glucose was between 100 and 109 mg/dL. Normoglycemia was defined as a fasting glucose below 100 mg/dL.
resultsIn multivariable linear regression, adjusted for age, race/ethnicity, menopause transition stage, cigarette use, calcium and vitamin D supplementation, lumbar spine bone mineral density, and study site, women with high prediabetes had 0.21 (p < 0.0001) standard deviations (SD) lower TBS than those with normoglycemia. Low prediabetes was not associated with lower TBS. When HOMA-IR levels were ≥ 1.62, each doubling of HOMA-IR was associated with a 0.11 SD decrement in TBS (p = 0.0001).
conclusionSimilar to diabetics, high prediabetics have lower TBS than normoglycemic individuals. Women with greater insulin resistance have lower TBS even in the absence of DM. Future studies should examine the associations of high prediabetes and insulin resistance with incident fracture.
