Sodium Intake and Osteoporosis Risk: Evidence From NHANES and Mendelian Randomization Analysis.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 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
Osteoporosis remains a critical public health challenge worldwide, particularly for older adults. Dietary sodium intake is considered a potentially modifiable factor related to bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis risk, but existing findings remain inconsistent, and large-scale evidence is limited. This study combines cross-sectional analysis from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) with Mendelian randomization (MR) to investigate the association and potential causal relationship between sodium intake and osteoporosis. Drawing on NHANES data from the 2005-2010, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018 cycles (
