Association between advanced lung cancer inflammation index and osteoporosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: evidence from NHANES.
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Background: Previous studies have shown a significantly increased prevalence of osteoporosis (OP) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which is closely associated with inflammation and nutrition. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the advanced lung cancer inflammation index (ALI) and OP in patients with T2DM. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was conducted based on data from middle-aged and older adults aged 50 years and older with T2DM from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).Weighted multivariable logistic regression and linear regression were utilized to investigate the correlation between the ALI and OP with femur bone mineral density (BMD) in individuals with T2DM. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were employed to assess potential nonlinear relationships, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate diagnostic accuracy. Results: A total of 1596 patients with T2DM were included in this study, among whom 736 had OP. After adjusting for covariates, the multivariable logistic regression model showed that compared to participants in the fourth quartile of log2-transformed ALI, those in the first quartile had an increased prevalence of OP in T2DM (OR = 1.95, 95% CI=1.28-2.96, p < 0.01). The multivariable linear regression model indicated that a low log2-transformed ALI is associated with a low femur BMD.RCS demonstrated a linear dose-response relationship between the ALI index and OP in T2DM (p = 0.686), with the area under the ROC curve being 0.57 (95% CI: 0.54-0.60, p < 0.001), and the optimal cutoff value was 6.04. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that low levels of ALI are independently associated with an increased prevalence of OP in middle-aged and older adults with T2DM in the United States. ALI may serve as a potential biomarker for assessing the prevalence of OP in middle-aged and older adults with T2DM.
