Atherogenic index of plasma is associated with vertebral fracture: a longitudinal study.

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
Purpose: The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), recognized as a marker of atherosclerosis, which also has a profound impact on bone metabolism. However, research exploring the association between the AIP and the probability of vertebral fractures in populations is still relatively scarce. The study aims to evaluate the association between the AIP and vertebral fractures probability in individuals in a longitudinal study. Patients and methods: A total of 1395 subjects who were older than 55 years and underwent CT scans for lung cancer screening between July 2019 and July 2021 were enrolled and followed up for a duration ranging from 8 months to 6 years. Among them, 91 individuals experienced new vertebral fractures. Participants were stratified into four groups based on AIP quartiles. The association between the AIP and vertebral fractures probability was then assessed by cox proportional hazards model. Results: The incidence of vertebral fracture decreased with increasing AIP (p for trend = 0.001). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that vertebral fractures were more likely to occur in patients with low levels of AIP (log-rank, all P < 0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that AIP was negatively associated with the probability of vertebral fractures even after accounting for confounding factors (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 0.27, 95%CI = 0.10-0.71 for continuous AIP; aHR = 0.48, 95%CI = 0.26-0.90 for Q2; aHR = 0.41, 95%CI = 0.19-0.88 for Q4, respectively). Subgroup analysis showed that such associations were mainly observed in male subjects. Restricted cubic splines further showed that the probability of vertebral fracture decreased with the increasing of AIP after adjusting with confounders in overall population and men, but not in women. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated a strong association between the AIP and the probability of vertebral fracture. Low AIP may be an associated factor of vertebral fracture.
