Neonatal vitamin D status at birth at latitude 32 degrees 72': evidence of deficiency.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00697294 (Vitamin D Status and Impact on Bone Mineralization in Human Milk Fed Hispanic and Caucasian Infants), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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.

Abstract
objectiveWith vitamin D deficiency as a serious public health problem, vitamin D status at birth was measured in neonates at latitude 32 degrees 72' (southeastern United States). STUDY
designIn umbilical cord blood, vitamin D status, demonstrated by circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, was measured and related to race and season of birth.
resultThe mean+/-standard deviation of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in 100 cord blood samples was 13.5+/-8.3 ng/ml for the cohort. African-American infants, with a mean+/-standard deviation of 10.5+/-6.0 ng/ml, demonstrated significantly lower vitamin D status than Caucasian infants, with a mean+/-standard deviation of 19.5+/-9.6 ng/ml (P<0.0001). By season, the mean 25-hydroxyvitamin D level at birth in November-March compared to April-October was 11.3 ng/ml lower in Caucasian infants (from 29.0 to 17.7 ng/ml) and 3 ng/ml lower in African-American infants (from 13.1 to 10.1 ng/ml).
conclusionThe prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency is high in this cohort. African-American infants demonstrate significantly lower vitamin D status at birth than Caucasian infants. Seasonality, while significant in both groups, had a greater impact on the vitamin D status of Caucasian newborns.
