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

backgroundHemoglobin-to-Red Cell Distribution Width Ratio (HRR) represents novel prognostic markers for diseases. However, there remains a lack of systematic research into the relationship between HRR and Bone Mineral Density (BMD) or osteoporosis in older adults.

methodsThis study utilized information from the NHANES database, selecting individuals over 50 years of age with complete femoral DXA scans and full blood counts. The relationship between HRR and femoral BMD was investigated using weighted linear models and restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. Moreover, the association between HRR and osteoporosis was further explored using logistic regression models and RCS models, with subgroup analysis conducted to test the robustness of the results.

resultsThis study included a total of 7,149 participants, and the BMD of the group with higher HRR was significantly greater than that of the group with lower HRR. Weighted linear regression analysis found a linear positive correlation between HRR and femoral BMD. When HRR was converted from a continuous variable to a categorical variable, this relationship remained stable. In addition, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that for each 1-unit increase in HRR, the prevalence of osteoporosis significantly decreased (OR = 0.25, 95% CI: 0.12-0.51), further confirming the findings of this study. Subgroup analysis showed that this association was not significantly affected by confounding factors across different populations.

conclusionHRR may serve as one of the potential indicators for evaluating BMD and assessing the prevalence of osteoporosis in the elderly. Elevating HRR levels may play a crucial role in the prevention and slowing of osteoporosis progression.
