Association of dietary patterns with osteoporosis risk: a meta-analysis of observational studies.

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
backgroundDietary patterns play a crucial role in osteoporosis prevention and management. Patients with osteoporosis need to select a dietary pattern for prevention. This meta-analysis aims to examine the influence of eight distinct dietary patterns on the risk of osteoporosis, including dietary inflammatory index (DII), Western/unhealthful dietary pattern, dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH), prudent/healthful dietary pattern, aquatic dietary pattern, plant-based diet index (PDI), healthful PDI, and unhealthful PDI.
methodsEmbase, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for observational studies up to April 10, 2025. Meta-analysis was conducted using random-effect models. Heterogeneity was evaluated by subgroup analyses and publication bias was assessed by Egger's test. If there was a risk of bias, the sensitivity analysis and trim-and-fill analysis were conducted. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were combined to compare the lowest and highest dietary pattern categories.
resultsA total of 2,620 studies were retrieved, among which 2,600 were excluded. 20 observational studies, involving 8 dietary patterns were included, with 426,292 participants. The highest DII (OR: 1.82; 95% CI: 1.39, 2.37; P < 0.001) and the high adherence of unhealthful PDI (OR: 1.37; 95% CI: 1.11, 1.68; P = 0.003) were correlated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. Conversely, the highest category of the prudent/healthful dietary pattern (OR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.53, 0.83; P < 0.001) presented a low osteoporosis risk. The Western/unhealthful dietary pattern, DASH, aquatic dietary pattern, and high adherence to PDI and healthy PDI dietary patterns were not associated with osteoporosis risk (All P > 0.05).
conclusionHigh DII or unhealthy PDI scores were associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis, while high adherence to prudent/healthy dietary patterns reduced the risk of osteoporosis.
