The role of fat-soluble vitamins on bone metabolism and osteoporosis: a literature review.
Review in Annals of medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThe purpose of this review is to discuss the role of fat-soluble vitamins in bone metabolism and explore whether there is a relationship between each fat-soluble vitamins in the occurrence and development of osteoporosis.
methodsWe selected several databases, including PubMed, PubMed Central (PMC), Embase, and Web of Science, as the primary sources for the search. Keywords closely related to the subject of this study, such as 'osteoporosis', 'vitamin A', 'vitamin D', 'vitamin E', 'Vitamin K', 'ferroptosis', 'osteoblast' and 'osteoclast', were used in the search. The search deadline is April 20, 2025. All included clinical studies were graded for critical analysis GRADE.
resultsAmong 573 reviewed articles, 182 were included (52 met GRADE criteria: A=10, B=26, C=11, D=5; 130 N/A). Vitamins D and K enhance osteoblast differentiation via RUNX2/ALP upregulation. Vitamin A's bone effects remain debated, potentially interacting with vitamin D. Vitamins E and K may jointly regulate bone metabolism as ferroptosis inhibitors.
conclusioni Fat-soluble vitamins (D, K, E) may positively impact bone mineral density (BMD), while vitamin A's effects remain controversial, potentially harming BMD at high doses. Current single-vitamin studies have limitations; future research should explore combined vitamin interactions to advance osteoporosis diagnosis and treatment.
