Kidney disease and determinants of health as correlates to primary bone cancer: a cross-sectional US population-based study.
Article in BMC nephrology, 2026. 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
backgroundPrimary bone cancer (PBC) is a rare type of malignancy that originates in the bones and constitutes 0.2% of all tumor types worldwide. While chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to increase the risk of various cancers, its association with PBC remains unclear. PBC and CKD are also known to be determined by biological, social, and behavioral characteristics that can affect their risk. Nonetheless, the links between these factors, CKD and PBC, are not assessed yet, posing an under-examined area of research that we aim to address in this study.
methodsOur analysis is based on a secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional study adopted from the 2022 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Weighted Chi-square test and weighted multiple logistic regressions were employed for data analysis.
resultsOut of 208,260 participants, 55 individuals were diagnosed with PBC, while 205,689 did not report having PBC. Moreover, 7,557 had kidney disease. Patients with CKD had more than five times higher odds of developing PBC (OR: 5.61, 95% CI: 1.56–20.18). Biological variables mainly age and sex were significant factors associated with both CKD and PBC, and obesity was a risk factor for both CKD and PBC, but statistical significance was reached only with CKD. Race was an index of social determinants of health that correlated marginally with PBC and significantly with CKD.
conclusionOur findings highlight the interrelationships between CKD, biological and social determinants of health, and PBC, suggesting an elevated risk of PBC among individuals with CKD. This finding is novel and warrants future mechanistic examination to determine the biological links between these two diseases while factoring in the effects of non-clinical health characteristics.
