The role of advanced glycation end products in fracture risk assessment in postmenopausal type 2 diabetic patients.

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
Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the quantitative association between advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and adjusted FRAX by rheumatoid arthritis (FRAX-RA) in postmenopausal type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients. The optimal cutoff value of AGEs was also explored, which was aimed at demonstrating the potential value of AGEs on evaluating osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal T2D patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including 366 postmenopausal participants (180 T2D patients [DM group] and 186 non-T2D individuals [NDM group]). All the subjects in each group were divided into three subgroups according to BMD. Physical examination, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and serum indicators (including serum AGEs, glycemic parameters, bone turnover markers and inflammation factors) were examined. The relationship between FRAX-RA, serum laboratory variables, and AGEs were explored. The optimal cutoff value of AGEs to predict the risk of osteoporotic fracture was also investigated. Results: Adjusting the FRAX values with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) of T2D patients reached a significantly increased MOF-RA and an increasing trend of HF-RA. AGEs level was higher in the DM group compared to the NDMs, and was positively correlated with MOF-RA (r=0.682, Conclusions: RA-adjusted FRAX is a relevant clinical tool in evaluating fracture risk of postmenopausal T2D patients. Our study analyzed the relationship between AGEs and FRAX-RA, and explored the threshold value of AGEs for predicting fracture risk in postmenopausal T2D patients. AGEs were also associated with serum bone turnover markers and inflammation factors, indicating that the increasing level of AGEs in postmenopausal T2D patients accelerated the expression of inflammatory factors, which led to bone metabolism disorders and a higher risk of osteoporotic fractures.
