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

Background: The connection between plain water intake (PWI) and osteoporosis risk is still unclear. The investigation aimed to identify the relationship between PWI and osteoporosis risk in middle-aged and elderly individuals in the United States (US). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among participants aged 50 years and older in the following waves of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES): 2007-2008, 2009-2010, 2013-2014, and 2017-2018. The relationship between PWI and osteoporosis risk was examined by multivariable logistic regression models, accompanied by subgroup analyses and interaction tests. Smooth curve fitting and threshold effect analysis were utilized. Results: The present investigation included 6,686 participants. In accordance with the fully adjusted model, individuals in the highest PWI tertile had a significantly reduced risk of osteoporosis in contrast to those in the lowest tertile [odds ratio (OR) = 0.62; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.49-0.77; Conclusion: The outcomes of our investigation indicated that among middle-aged and older US adults, a higher PWI was connected with a moderately reduced osteoporosis risk. Managing PWI might reduce the osteoporosis risk.
