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
Background: The intricate relationship between bone turnover biomarkers (BTMs) and lipid profiles, particularly high-density lipoprotein (HDL), remains partially understood. This study aims to clarify how HDL is associated with BTMs, which are key indicators of bone resorption and formation, in patients hospitalized with osteoporotic fractures (OPFs). Understanding this relationship could offer new insights for osteoporosis treatment and influence future therapeutic strategies. Method: Conducted at the Affiliated Kunshan Hospital of Jiangsu University from January 2017 to August 2023, this retrospective cross-sectional study involved 4782 OPFs patients requiring hospitalization or surgery; after applying the exclusion criteria, the actual valid sample size used for analysis was 712 patients. The patient's serum HDL levels were determined, followed by the assessment of the procollagen type I N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and the beta-C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (β-CTX) as outcome variables. Adjustments were made for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and other clinical variables. The association between HDL and P1NP and β-CTX was analyzed using generalized estimating equations (GEE). Nonlinear associations were assessed via generalized additive models (GAM), with stratified analyses and threshold assessments conducted for result validation. Results: A negative association was found between HDL levels and both β-CTX and P1NP. After adjusting for covariates, each unit increase in HDL corresponded to a decrease in P1NP by 14.37 (β = -14.37, 95% CI: -24.21 to -4.51, Conclusion: The findings reveal a negative correlation between HDL levels and both β-CTX and P1NP, suggesting a potential link between lipid metabolism and bone turnover. If validated in further studies, HDL could emerge as a predictive marker for BTMs, offering novel perspectives for osteoporosis management.
