Vitamin D: a hormone for all seasons--how much is enough?
Article in The Clinical biochemist. Reviews, 2005. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Further understanding of its endocrine mechanisms and increased evidence for autocrine/paracrine actions has recently enhanced our knowledge of the biological activities of the vitamin D metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)2D). The recognition of the contribution of vitamin D depletion to increased risk of osteoporosis, and most importantly the risk of hip fracture in the elderly, has increased the clinical significance of clinical laboratory testing for vitamin D status. Research has revealed that at least three genes contribute to vitamin D activity within tissues. These are the vitamin D receptor as well as two major vitamin D metabolising enzymes, CYP27B1, responsible for synthesis of 1,25(OH)2D and CYP24, responsible for catabolism of vitamin D metabolites. Current research focuses on the contribution of vitamin D metabolism to increasing vitamin D activity. This is of particular interest in bone forming cells where increased 1,25(OH)2D activity has been proposed to contribute to strengthening the skeleton. As well, solid tumours such as prostate, breast and colon cancers are another increasing area of vitamin D research. The major issues for the clinical laboratory in vitamin D testing include defining clinical decision limits for the interpretation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels and improving the precision and accuracy of this assay.
