Association between phosphorus intake and wrist fracture: the mediating role of bone mineral density.

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: Phosphorus correlates with bone mineral density (BMD), a key factor in fracture risk. Thus, BMD may mediate phosphorus-fractures association, which has not yet been elucidated. Objective: This study aimed to trace phosphorus intake-wrist fracture association, and analyze the mediating role of BMD. Methods: Data were derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were utilized to assess phosphorus intake-wrist fracture association. Subgroup analyses examined differences across populations with varying characteristics. Mediation analysis explored the potential mediating role of BMD in the phosphorus-wrist fracture association. Results: A total of 7,952 participants were included. In the fully adjusted model, compared with the Q1 group, the Q4 group had a remarkably reduced wrist fracture risk (odds ratio [OR] = 0.58, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.38-0.88, Conclusion: When phosphorus intake is <1,086.5 mg/day, higher intake is associated with reduced wrist fracture risk, with BMD as a key mediator. These findings provided crucial scientific evidence for developing targeted nutritional strategies to prevent wrist fractures.
