Reviewer 3 Report
The paper is a review of bone manifestations in SLE patients. Although limited by its narrative design, the paper is interesting and current. I have only few minor comments for the authors:
- Page 3, lines 83-87. Please add the HRs for sex and age.
- Page 5. In figure 1 the authors reported the role of IL-21 in bone metabolism, however they reported no data in Section 2.3. Please consider to provide some insight.
- Page 6, lines 224-226. Please provide appropriate reference for the statement.
