Saturation Effect of Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP) Index on Spinal Bone Mineral Density: A Population-Based Study.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Lipid accumulation product (LAP) has a positive effect on spinal bone mineral density (BMD). However, once LAP levels exceed 27.26, the rate of spinal BMD increase slow down or even decline. This indicates a biphasic relationship between lipid metabolism and BMD, suggesting potential benefits within a certain range and possible adverse effects beyond that range. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between LAP index and BMD in US adults, as well as to explore the presence of a potential saturation effect in this relationship. This study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2007 to 2018. A multiple stepwise regression model was employed to examine the association between LAP index and total spinal BMD. Additionally, a generalized additive model and a smooth curve fitting algorithm were utilized to examine the relationship, and saturation effect study was conducted to determine the saturation level. The calculation formula of LAP used in the study was: (LAP = (waist circumstances (WC) (cm) - 58) × triglyceride (TG) (mmol/L)) for women, and (LAP = (WC (cm) - 65) × TG (mmol/L)) for men. The study involved a total of 7913 participants aged 20 years or older. Through multiple stepwise regression analysis, it was found that individuals with higher LAP scores exhibited higher total spinal BMD. In both the crude and partially adjusted models, total spinal BMD was significantly higher in the highest LAP quartile (Q4) compared to the lowest LAP quartile (Q1) (P < 0.05). Utilizing a generalized additive model and smooth curve, a nonlinear relationship between LAP and total spinal BMD was observed. Furthermore, the study identified the saturation value of LAP to be 27.26, indicating a saturation effect. This research highlights a nonlinear relationship between LAP and total spinal BMD, along with the presence of a saturation effect.
