Association between multiple urinary trace metal elements and lumbar bone mineral density in adults.
Article in Nagoya journal of medical science, 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
Urinary trace metal elements are key biomarkers for assessing exposure to toxic metals, and are significant contributors to osteoporosis (OP). Epidemiological research examining the connection between adult bone mineral density (BMD) and trace metal elements exposure is still very scarce, nevertheless. The study aims to clarify the association between trace metal elements exposure and BMD. This cross-sectional study included 3,441 adults (aged 20 to 59) from 2011 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, smoothing curve fitting and threshold effect analysis were conducted to explore the association between four urinary trace metal elements (barium, cesium, antimony, and tin) and BMD. We found that urinary cesium, antimony, and tin were positively associated with lumbar BMD, while urinary barium demonstrated an inverted U-shaped association in US adults. The results of this study are helpful for the development of strategies for bone mineral density management.
