1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The blood levels of the active metabolites of vitamin D3 25-hydroxycholecalciferol [25(OH)D3]. 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2D3], and 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [24,25(OH)2D3] were determined in 27 patients suffering from arthrosis of the knee, including 4 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The blood level of 24,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol was found to be significantly lower in patients with gonarthrosis than in patients with coxarthrosis. With the exclusion of the diabetic patients, the mean value for this metabolite was lower than in the coxarthrosis group, but the difference was not significant statistically.
