Sex differences in the relationship between parathyroid hormone and uric acid in osteoporotic fracture patients: insights from a retrospective cross-sectional 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
Background: Osteoporosis (OP) is characterized by decreased bone mineral density and increased fracture risk, particularly in older adults. The relationship between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and uric acid (UA) levels among osteoporotic fracture (OPF) patients remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between PTH and UA in a large OPF patient cohort. Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, clinical data from 1,730 OPF patients admitted to Kunshan Hospital of Jiangsu University between January 2017 and August 2023 were analyzed. Baseline PTH and UA levels were measured, and analyses adjusted for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), and other clinical parameters. Multivariable logistic regression, smooth curve fitting, and threshold analyses were conducted. Results: After stratifying by gender and adjusting for covariates, regression analysis revealed a significant positive association between PTH and UA in males, with each unit increase in PTH corresponding to a 2.19 µmol/L rise in UA (β=2.19, 95% CI: 1.27-3.12, p<0.01). Similarly, females exhibited a positive association, with each unit increase in PTH associated with a 0.88 µmol/L increase in UA (β=0.88, 95% CI: 0.35-1.40, p<0.01). Additionally, a nonlinear relationship was identified in female patients, with a UA inflection point at 26.14 µmol/L. Conclusion: A significant positive correlation between PTH and UA levels exists among OPF patients, with males exhibiting a linear and females a nonlinear relationship. These findings highlight the importance of gender-specific personalized management strategies in clinical practice.
