Estimating Net Bone Formation Relative to Resorption Using Reference Bone Turnover Markers.
Article in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT07254429 (Copenhagen Menopause Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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.

Abstract
contextIndividually, bone resorption or formation markers do not reflect bone balance.
objective(1) Combine reference bone resorption [collagen type I C-telopeptide (CTX)] and formation [procollagen type I propeptide (PINP)] markers to estimate balance by creating a bone balance index (BBI); (2) examine associations of BBI, CTX, or PINP with bone mineral density (BMD) change.
designMixed effects linear regression quantified associations of BBI, CTX, or PINP with BMD change rate.
settingCommunity-based cohort (Study of Women's Health Across the Nation).
participants535 women transitioning through menopause.
main outcome measuresAnnualized percent change in lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) BMD.
resultsIn mixed effects linear regression, adjusted for age, body mass index, race/ethnicity, menopause transition stage, and study site, more negative BBI (less favorable balance) related to more BMD loss. Each SD decrement in BBI was associated with a 0.26% greater decline in LS BMD annually and 0.42% greater decline in FN BMD annually (each P < .0001). In separate models, accounting for the previous covariates, greater CTX or PINP predicted more bone loss. Per SD increment in log2CTX, annual BMD decline was 0.37% greater (P < .0001) and 0.47% greater (P < .0001) at the LS and FN, respectively. Per SD increment in log2PINP, annual BMD loss was 0.22% (P < .0001, LS) and 0.19% (P = .01, FN) greater.
conclusionWhen combined as a BBI, CTX and PINP estimate bone balance; more negative BBI predicts faster BMD loss. Separately, CTX or PINP reflect overall amount of bone turnover; greater CTX or PINP are related to more bone loss.
