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

To identify and validate lipid metabolites associated with bone mineral density (BMD) change and fracture risk through integrated Mendelian randomization (MR) and observational analyses. Two-sample MR analysis was first performed to uncover potential causal relationships between 32 lipid classes and 576 lipid species and BMD and fractures. Identified signatures were subsequently validated in an independent cohort (N = 492), where lipids, BMD, and fracture status were measured at two time points, 8 years apart. The false discovery rate method was employed to control multiple testing. Linear and log binomial mixed-effects models were used to analyze lipid associations with hip BMD and fracture risk, respectively. Two-sample MR revealed seven lipid classes causally associated with BMD and/or fractures, including acylcarnitine (AC), cholesteryl ester (CE), sphingomyelin (SM), phosphatidylinositol (PI), GM3 ganglioside (GM3), alkylphosphatidylcholine (PC(O)) and triacylglycerol (TG). Causal associations were found between 18 lipid species across these classes and BMD, and 10 lipid species were associated with fractures. Validation in an independent longitudinal cohort confirmed associations for total SM, SM(d18:1/16:0), SM(d18:2/24:0), and CE(18:3) with hip BMD change (β ranging from - 0.036 to - 0.012 g/cm
