A multilayered genetic structure analysis between inflammatory bowel disease and bone density/osteoporosis.
Article in PloS one, 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
backgroundThe association between inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and reduced bone mineral density (BMD) or osteoporosis is still a subject of ongoing debate, underscoring the need for further exploration, particularly from a genetic perspective.
methodsUtilizing data from genome-wide association studies on 59,957 IBD, 40,266 CD, 45,975 UC, 31,492 BMD, and 399,054 osteoporosis, comprehensive analyses were performed focusing on two main aspects: genetic correlations (Rg) and shared genetic loci. Initially, the overall Rg between these traits was assessed via genetic covariance analyzers and high-definition likelihood approaches. Following this, local genetic patterns were examined using local variant association analysis. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed to infer potential causal relationships. The genetic overlap was then explored using conditional/conjunctional false discovery rate (cond/conjFDR) statistical methods, leading to the identification of several biologically significant shared genetic loci.
resultsA notable genetic correlation was found between IBD, its subtypes, and BMD/osteoporosis at the genome-wide level. Additionally, significant local genetic associations were identified across various chromosomal regions. The conjFDR analysis further supported the genetic overlap and pinpointed several critical shared loci. Furthermore, significant enrichment of the Wnt signaling pathway was detected for both conditions.
conclusionThis investigation offers robust genetic evidence supporting the comorbidity of IBD with BMD/osteoporosis, highlights possible underlying mechanisms, and provides new insights into clinical research and practice.
