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

LAP (lipid accumulation products) is a new indicator that estimates lipid overaccumulation and central obesity in our bodies. Nevertheless, the relationship of LAP with bone mineral density (BMD) has not been well established. This study aims to assess the association of LAP with BMD in U.S. adults. Multivariate linear regression was employed to detect the relationship of LAP with lumbar BMD in adult Americans. Subgroup and interaction tests were employed to detect the robustness of our findings. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) and threshold effect analysis were used to assess the nonlinear correlation of LAP with lumbar BMD. A total of 3883 participants consisted of 2117 (54.52%) men and 1766 (45.48%) women. The mean age of participants was 39.33 ± 11.53 years. After adjusting all covariates, we found a negative association of ln-LAP with lumbar BMD (β= -0.011, 95% CI: -0.019, -0.004). Threshold effect analysis identified the inflection points of 2.846. The results showed no correlation to the left of the saturation point but a significant negative correlation to the right. Interaction analyses indicated that all subgroups have no effect on this association (P > 0.05). Our study reported a nonlinear negative association of LAP with lumbar BMD. A large LAP may be associated with reduced BMD in American adults. These findings support the clinical utility of LAP as a predictor of osteoporosis and provide valuable insights into developing early intervention strategies for osteoporosis populations.
