Variation of bone-related and inflammatory biomarkers after a half-marathon running in trained subjects.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMarathons and ultra-marathon generally evidence an anabolic effect on bone metabolism; however, there is scarce knowledge of less demanding events as half-marathons, which, instead, is becoming one of the most popular recreational activities, rising in the number of followers all over the world.
aimTo evaluate the trend of bone turnover biomarkers (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase BALP, osteocalcin OC, type 1 procollagen amino-terminal peptide P1NP, bone formation biomarkers; and carboxy-terminal collagen crosslinks CTx, and bone reabsorption biomarker) and vitamin D (25(OH)D) in controls (CON) with a low physical activity profile and trained runners (ATH; at baseline, after a half-marathon run, and 24-h post), and their correlation with the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and other cardiometabolic parameters.
resultsATH showed higher levels of 25(OH)D and bone turnover biomarkers than CON; OC, BALP, P1NP, and CTx significantly increased after post-race (by 18, 20, 14, and 33%, respectively) as compared with baseline, and normalized at 24 h, except for P1NP which slowly decreased at 24 h; SII did not significantly change. In the whole population, all the bone turnover biomarkers were correlated with each other, 25(OH)D correlated with OC and BALP, whereas OC inversely correlated with diastolic blood pressure and 25(OH)D inversely correlated with body mass index. In the ATH group, no correlation between SII concentrations and levels of bone turnover biomarkers was found.
conclusionBoth half-marathon training and acute responses after a running increase bone turnover biomarkers. More data are required to definitively assess if these changes are beneficial or adverse for bone health.
