Association of bone turnover markers and cognitive function in Chinese chronic schizophrenia patients with or without vitamin D insufficiency.

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
backgroundIncreasing evidence shows that bone turnover markers (BTMs) and vitamin D can affect human cognitive function. However, there are few studies that have investigated the association between BTMs and cognitive function in chronic schizophrenia patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between BTMs and cognitive function in chronic schizophrenia patients with or without vitamin D insufficiency (VDI).
methodsIn all, 118 chronic schizophrenia patients were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) was applied to evaluate the cognitive function of the subjects. Blood analysis included bone turnover markers, vitamin D levels, and glycolipid levels.
resultsRelative to 72 vitamin D-sufficient (VDS) patients, 46 VDI patients had higher bone resorption markers levels and lower bone formation markers levels. Regression analysis showed that, in the total sample, CTX and language function exhibited independent positive correlation (p = 0.027, R
conclusionOur study showed an association between the levels of BTMs and cognitive function among chronic schizophrenia patients. This correlation may have different mechanisms of action at different vitamin D levels.
