The correlation between serum total alkaline phosphatase and bone mineral density in young adults.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 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
backgroundElevated total alkaline phosphatase (T-ALP) levels are usually indicative of enhanced osteoblastic activity and bone conversion status and are thus considered as a key factor needed for fresh bone mineralization and synthesis. To date, there is no consistent conclusion on the association between the serum T-ALP levels and bone mineral density (BMD). Therefore, the present study focused on exploring the association of serum T-ALP with lumbar BMD among young adults.
methodsThe present cross-sectional study included 6,331 subjects included in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 2011-2016. The participants aged 20-40 years included 3,349 males and 2,982 females. Serum T-ALP was our main variable, lumbar BMD was our outcome variable, and additional variables were the possible impact modifiers. The relations were analysed by the trend study, weighted multiple linear regression models, smooth curve fitting, and stratified analyses.
resultsIn a completely corrected multiple regression model, a negative association between serum T-ALP and lumbar BMD was discovered (β = -0.0007, 95% CI: -0.0009- -0.0005, P < 0.000001). After converting the continuous variable serum T-ALP into the categorical one, the significant negative association was still observed (P < 0.001), and in the subgroup and smooth curve fitting analyses, this negative correlation remained significant, too.
conclusionsOur study results indicated that serum T-ALP was negatively associated with lumbar BMD among young adults. Serum T-ALP measurement in the near future might become an effective biomarker to diagnose and treat osteoporosis on time.
