1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

It remains unclear whether the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and bone mineral density (BMD) reflects causality in East Asian populations. Herein, a Mendelian randomization study conducted in East Asian population enhances the current clinical cognition that T2DM is not associated with reduction in BMD. PURPOSE: A Mendelian randomization (MR) approach was utilized to investigate the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and bone mineral density (BMD) in East Asian populations.

methodsGenome-wide association study summary data from BioBank Japan were used to identify genetic variants strongly related to T2DM risk (36,614 cases and 155,150 controls) and osteoporosis (7788 cases and 204,665 controls). Heel BMD GWAS data of 1260 East Asian people from ieu open gwas project was considered as a second outcome. Inverse variance-weighted (IVW) analysis was mainly applied; MR-Egger and the weighted median were also used to obtain robust estimates. A series of sensitivity analyses including Cochran's Q test, MR-Egger regression, and leave-one-out analysis were used to detect pleiotropy or heterogeneity.

resultsIn the main analysis, IVW estimates indicated that T2DM significantly associated with the risk of osteoporosis (odds ratio = 0.92, 95% CI: 0.86-0.99, p = 0.016) and with higher BMD (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.06-1.46, p = 6.49 × 10

conclusionsT2DM is not associated with reduction in BMD in terms of genetic polymorphism in East Asian populations.
