Gastrointestinal health and serum proteins are associated with BMD in postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundWith increasing age, the social and economic burdens of postmenopausal osteoporosis are steadily increasing. This study aimed to investigate the factors that influence the development of postmenopausal osteoporosis.
methodsPostmenopausal women at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from January 2023 to December 2023 were recruited for BMD examination. The patients were divided into a normal group, an osteopenia group and an osteoporosis group according to their T value. Questionnaires, including the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale and Short Form 12, were administered through face-to-face interviews. Bone turnover markers and serum protein levels of Fasting venous blood were detected.
resultsA total of 222 postmenopausal women met the inclusion criteria were recruited. Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences in age, education, BMI, supplementation with soy products, supplementation with dairy products, supplementation with other nutritional supplements, exercise frequency, gastrointestinal symptom score, quality of life, 25(OH)D, total protein, albumin and prealbumin among the three groups (P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that gastrointestinal symptoms (r = -0.518, P < 0.01) was negatively correlated with BMD in postmenopausal women, while PCS (r = 0.194, P = 0.004), MCS (r = 0.305, P < 0.01), 25(OH)D (r = 0.531, P < 0.01), total protein (r = 0.324, P < 0.01), albumin (r = 0.341, P < 0.01) and prealbumin (r = 0.259, P < 0.01) were positively correlated with BMD. Logistic regression analysis revealed that both the gastrointestinal symptom score and serum 25(OH)D level were found to have a significant association with BMD (both P < 0.01). This association remained significant even after adjusting for age, BMI, education level, dietary habits, and exercise frequency.
conclusionGastrointestinal symptoms and serum 25(OH)D elevel are associated with increased risk of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and may be useful in predicting osteoporosis in postmenopausal women.
