Age-stratified association between serum uric acid and lumbar bone mineral density in elderly Chinese women with vertebral compression fractures: a cross-sectional analysis.

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
Objective: To investigate the association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) in elderly Chinese women with vertebral compression fractures (VCFs), with a specific focus on age-dependent variations in this association. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 490 female patients aged ≥60 years with VCFs. SUA levels served as the primary exposure variable, and lumbar spine BMD was the outcome variable. Multivariate linear regression models were employed to adjust for potential confounders, incorporating comprehensive subgroup analyses. Results: A statistically significant positive and independent correlation emerged between SUA levels and spine lumbar BMD after multivariable adjustment ( Conclusion: Our findings reveal a nuanced, age-dependent positive correlation between SUA levels and lumbar BMD in elderly Chinese women with vertebral compression fractures. These results suggest SUA may serve as a potential biomarker for fracture risk assessment and bone health evaluation, particularly in younger elderly populations.
