The association between dietary mineral intake and bone mineral density: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of health, population, and nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesMinerals are essential for maintaining bone health; however, the relationship between specific mineral intakes and bone mineral density (BMD) remains insufficiently understood. This study aims to examine the associations between the intakes of dietary minerals, including calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), sodium (Na), potassium (K), and selenium (Se), and BMD.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Multivariate weighted generalized linear regression and smooth curve fitting were applied to evaluate the associations between dietary mineral intakes and BMD. Furthermore, subgroup analyses and interaction tests were performed to assess the consistency of these associations across different individual characteristics.
resultsA total of 11,520 representative adult participants were included in the study. Tertile-based categorical analysis revealed significant positive correlations between the intakes of Ca [β: 0.0096, 95% Confidence Interval (95% CI): (0.0001, 0.0192)], Mg [β: 0.0207, 95% CI: (0.0107, 0.0307)], Fe [β: 0.0157, 95% CI: (0.0061, 0.0253)], Zn [β: 0.0106, 95% CI: (0.0020, 0.0192)], Cu [β: 0.0088, 95% CI: (0.0000, 0.0176)], Na [β: 0.0126, 95% CI: (0.0024, 0.0228)], and Se [β: 0.0123, 95% CI: (0.0024, 0.0221)] and BMD (all P < 0.05). Smooth curve fitting and threshold effect analyses further demonstrated nonlinear relationships between mineral intakes and BMD. Subgroup analyses identified significant modulating effects of sex on the associations with Ca, Fe, and Na, as well as an interaction between diabetic status and Ca intake (all P for interaction < 0.05).
conclusionThis study elucidates the intricate relationships between dietary mineral intakes and BMD. These findings offer preliminary insights into the potential for tailored nutritional strategies in bone health management across diverse populations.
