Association Between Serum Apolipoprotein B and Bone Mineral Density and the Effects of Cardiovascular Disease Mediation: Results From the NHANES 2011-2016 and a Mendelian Randomization Study.
Article in Reviews in cardiovascular medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Previous studies have indicated that blood lipids can influence skeletal health. However, limited research exists on the impact of serum apolipoprotein B (ApoB) on bone mineral density (BMD); meanwhile, it remains unclear to what extent cardiovascular disease plays in mediating this process. Methods: Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional analysis involving 2930 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database to explore the relationship between serum ApoB and total body BMD (TB-BMD) and lumbar spine BMD (LS-BMD). We employed a two-step, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis using genetic instruments to investigate causality and assess the mediating effects of six cardiovascular diseases. Results: Multivariable linear regression models demonstrated an inverse linear association between serum ApoB and TB-BMD (β = -0.26, 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.41 to -0.12, Conclusions: The results of this study support that lowering serum ApoB levels could enhance BMD while preventing the occurrence of heart failure might reduce the harm caused by the decrease in BMD due to elevated ApoB levels.
