Association between serum albumin with geriatric nutritional risk index and osteopenia in Chinese elderly men: a nested case-control study.
Article in Asia Pacific journal of clinical nutrition, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesMalnutrition is associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis. We aim to assess the relationship between serum albumin with geriatric nutritional risk index and osteopenia in Chinese elderly men. METHODS AND STUDY
designThis is a nested case-control study from a prospective cohort enrolled 1109 individuals who were followed for seven years. Demographic data, medical history, signs and symptoms, and laboratory parameters were collected and analysed. Nutritional status and Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI) were assessed. The nutrition-related indexes predictive value for osteopenia development was analyzed through multivariate Cox regression analysis and by creating a receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), calculating the area under the curve (AUC). Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method was further used to find the nutritional status level in the elderly men.
resultsThe ALB and GNRI correlated with the risk of osteopenia in Chinese elderly men. After adjusting for all covariates, people with higher ALB level (HR: 0.821; 95% CI: 0.790-0.852) and higher GNRI score (HR: 0.889; 95% CI: 0.869-0.908) had a smaller risk of osteopenia. ROC analysis showed that the AUC for ALB was 0.729 (p<0.05) and for the GNRI score was 0.731 (p<0.05). K-M curve indicated a significant difference in ALB level (p<0.001) and GNRI score (p<0.001) in the respective subgroups.
conclusionsThis study found that lower ALB level and lower GNRI score are associated with a higher prevalence of osteopenia among elderly men in China.
