Development of a tool for the assessment of calcium and vitamin D intakes in clinical settings.
Article in Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
unlabelledThe study aim was to develop a tool (software and ruler) to assess the dietary calcium and vitamin D intakes in Portugal, and evaluate the usefulness of non-dietary variables as intake predictors. Our findings indicated that is possible to estimate both using three and six food items, respectively, and non-dietary predictors.
introductionThe study aim was to develop a tool to assess the dietary calcium and vitamin D intakes in Portugal, and evaluate the usefulness of non-dietary variables as predictors.
methodsTrained interviewers collected information of 2,414 adults of Porto, Portugal, using a structured questionnaire and a validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Food items with the highest contribution to the total intake and non-dietary predictors (gender, age and body mass index (BMI)) were selected for the tool. Different statistical approaches were used to predict the intake. A Bland-Altman plot compared the predictions from the tool and the full FFQ.
resultsThe items selected to predict intake were milk (38%), cheese (12%), yogurt (10%) and gender for calcium and oily fish (39%), canned fish (9%), white fish (7%), eggs (5%), red meat (5%), age and BMI for vitamin D. The Bland-Altman plot showed that the mean differences were 0.0 (limits of agreement = [-220.67; 220.77]) mg/day and 0.0 (limits of agreement = [-1.03; 1.05]) microg/day, respectively for calcium and vitamin D.
conclusionThe equations estimated by the best statistical model to predict the calcium and vitamin D intake allowed for the design of a software and a circular ruler useful in clinical settings.
