Bone turnover: the role of lipoproteins in a population-based study.
Article in Lipids in health and disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundDyslipidemia has been associated with reduced bone mineral density and osteoporotic fractures, but the relation between lipid and bone metabolism remains poorly understood. Analysing the effects of lipoprotein subclasses on bone turnover may provide valuable insights into this association. We therefore examined whether lipoprotein subclasses, measured by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (
methodsData from 1.349 men and 1.123 women, who participated in the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania-TREND were analysed. Serum intact amino-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (P1NP, bone formation) and carboxy-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX, bone resorption) concentrations were measured. Associations between the lipoprotein data and the BTMs or the stiffness index were investigated using linear regression models.
resultsThe triglyceride or cholesterol content in very-low-density lipoprotein and intermediate-density lipoprotein particles was inversely associated with both BTMs, with effect estimates being slightly higher for CTX than for P1NP. The triglyceride content in low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein particles and the Apo-A2 content in high-density lipoprotein particles was further inversely associated with the BTMs. Associations with the ultrasound-based bone stiffness index were absent.
conclusionsConsistent inverse associations of triglycerides with bone turnover were observed, which argue for a protective effect on bone health, at least in the normal range. Yet, the presented associations did not translate into effects on the ultrasound-based bone stiffness. Further, there was no relevant gain of information by assessing the lipoprotein subclasses. Nevertheless, our study highlights the close relations between lipid and bone metabolism in the general population.
