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
This study revealed that there was no significant linear relationship between fasting C-peptide (FCP) level and bone mineral density (BMD) or fracture risk in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. However, in the FCP ≤ 1.14 ng/ml group, FCP is positively correlated with whole body (WB), lumbar spine (LS), and femoral neck (FN) BMD and negatively correlated with fracture risk. PURPOSE: To explore the relationship between C-peptide and BMD and fracture risk in T2DM patients.
methods530 T2DM patients were enrolled and divided into three groups by FCP tertiles, and the clinical data were collected. BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fractures (MOFs) and hip fractures (HFs) was evaluated by adjusted fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX).
resultsIn the FCP ≤ 1.14 ng/ml group, FCP level was positively correlated with WB, LS, and FN BMD, while FCP was negatively correlated with fracture risk and osteoporotic fracture history. However, FCP was not correlated with BMD and fracture risk and osteoporotic fracture history in the 1.14 < FCP ≤ 1.73 ng/ml and FCP > 1.73 ng/ml groups. The study has shown that FCP was an independent factor influencing BMD and fracture risk in the FCP ≤ 1.14 ng/ml group.
conclusionsThere is no significant linear relationship between FCP level and BMD or fracture risk in T2DM patients. In the FCP ≤ 1.14 ng/ml group, FCP is positively correlated with WB, LS, and FN BMD and negatively correlated with fracture risk, and FCP is an independent influencing factor of BMD and fracture risk. The findings suggest that FCP may predict the risk of osteoporosis or fracture in some T2DM patients, which has a certain clinical value.
