A protein-based prediction model for fragility fracture risk in individuals with diabetes.
Article in Journal of molecular cell biology, 2026. 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
Individuals with diabetes are at high risk of fragility fractures. We aimed to develop and validate a protein-based model to predict fragility fractures in individuals with diabetes and to explore whether a protein risk score (ProRS) would improve the risk prediction. A total of 3535 individuals with diabetes from the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project were included in the study. During a median follow-up period of 13.3 years, 5.2% (185) of the individuals with diabetes experienced a fragility fracture. Of 2902 unique proteins, 139 exhibited significant associations with fragility fracture risk. A protein-based model that included 10 proteins was then developed using the machine learning model. Compared with the low ProRS tertile, medium and high tertiles were strongly associated with increased fragility fracture risk. The ProRS achieved a C-index of 0.739 and a 10-year area under the curve (AUC) of 0.733 for the fragility fracture prediction. Adding ProRS to the traditional prediction model (the fracture risk assessment tool [FRAX]) improved the prediction performance with a C-index increase of 0.080 (0.673 [FRAX] vs. 0.754 [FRAX+ProRS]) and a 10-year AUC increase of 0.064 (0.693 vs. 0.757), thereby promoting early monitoring and prevention in individuals with diabetes.
