Correlation and mediation analysis between plasmapheresis donation behavior and bone mineral density and bone metabolism biomarkers: a cross-sectional study based on plasmapheresis donors at high risk of osteoporosis in China.
Article in PeerJ, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: As a group of more than 3.67 million people, the bone health of Chinese plasmapheresis donors, which the main population is also a risk group of osteoporosis (OP), has raised concerns. Therefore, this article investigates the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD), bone metabolism indicators, and plasmapheresis donation behavior among some high-risk plasmapheresis donors for OP in China, and further explores the mediating factors through reasonable statistical methods. Methods: Recruiting long-term and highly active plasmapheresis donors and new donors to measure the total calcium, albumin (ALB), 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25OHD), parathyroid hormone (PTH), type I procollagen amino-terminal peptide (P1NP), and type I collagen carboxy-terminal peptide ( Results: Compared to new donors, repeat donors have a lower 25OHD, Conclusion: Long-term and frequently plasmapheresis donation does not affect the bone mass of even elderly donors at high risk for osteoporosis under the existing collection standards and anticoagulant use in China. However, as a self-regulation way, it does increase the osteogenic activity of the body.
