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

purpose of reviewTo systematically review recent studies investigating the association between metabolites and bone mineral density (BMD) in humans.

methodsUsing predefined keywords, we searched literature published from Jan 1, 2019 to Feb 20, 2022 in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus. Studies that met the predefined exclusion criteria were excluded. Among the included studies, we identified metabolites that were reported to be associated with BMD by at least three independent studies. RECENT

findingsA total of 170 studies were retrieved from the databases. After excluding studies that did not meet our predefined inclusion criteria, 16 articles were used in this review. More than 400 unique metabolites in blood were shown to be significantly associated with BMD. Of these, three metabolites were reported by ≥ 3 studies, namely valine, leucine and glycine. Glycine was consistently shown to be inversely associated with BMD, while valine was consistently observed to be positively associated with BMD. Inconsistent associations with BMD was observed for leucine. With advances in metabolomics technology, an increasing number of metabolites associated with BMD have been identified. Two of these metabolites, namely valine and glycine, were consistently associated with BMD, highlighting their potential for clinical application in osteoporosis. International collaboration with a larger population to conduct clinical studies on these metabolites is warranted. On the other hand, given that metabolomics could be affected by genetics and environmental factors, whether the inconsistent association of the metabolites with BMD is due to the interaction between metabolites and genes and/or lifestyle warrants further study.
