Association between novel inflammatory indices and osteoporosis among older adults: evidence from a large multicenter study in China.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objectives: Chronic systemic inflammation is increasingly recognized as a key contributor to the development of osteoporosis. This investigation seeks to assess how effectively several inflammation-derived composite indices can diagnose osteoporosis in the elderly population. Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted across four hospitals in China from January 2023 to May 2025, enrolling 3,625 participants aged ≥60 years. Associations between inflammatory markers and osteoporosis were examined with multivariable logistic regression, and potential nonlinear patterns were further investigated using restricted cubic spline (RCS) models. Diagnostic accuracy was assessed through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: Elevated values of several inflammation-related indices were associated with a higher likelihood of osteoporosis in multivariable analyses. RCS analysis demonstrated a nonlinear dose-response pattern ( Conclusion: This multicenter study demonstrates that elevated inflammatory indices are independently associated with osteoporosis, with AISI emerged as the superior marker, offering a novel, cost-effective tool for early identification of osteoporosis in clinical practice.
