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

unlabelledOptimal levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] were investigated in premenopausal Chinese women. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) change at 3 months was associated with change in 25(OH)D but not with baseline levels, and PTH fell even when starting levels of 25(OH)D were >40 nmol/L, consistent with optimal values for 25(OH)D of ≥40 nmol/l.

introductionThe upper level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] which constitutes a long-term bone health risk by causing elevated PTH levels is uncertain. Although many studies have addressed this question using cross-sectional data, the present study is one of few employing a prospective approach to determine 25(OH)D levels required to minimize PTH.

methodsRelationships among baseline values and 3-month changes (Δ) in PTH and 25(OH)D were assessed in 221 Chinese women, aged 28.0±4.4 years (mean±SD), taking part in a placebo-controlled dairy product intervention delivering 200 IU vitamin D(3)/day.

resultsBaseline 25(OH)D was 34±11 nmol/L and was inversely related to baseline PTH (r=-0.18, P=0.007), with a plateau in PTH levels when 25(OH)D was >40 nmol/L. After 3 months intervention, PTH fell 11% and neither Δ25(OH)D nor ΔPTH differed between treatment and control groups. ΔPTH was inversely related to Δ25(OH)D (P<0.001) but not to baseline 25(OH)D. Similarly, ΔPTH differed between quartiles of Δ25(OH)D (P<0.001), but not between quartiles of baseline 25(OH)D and no interaction was observed between quartiles of baseline 25(OH)D and Δ25(OH)D. Even in the highest quartile of baseline 25(OH)D (>40 nmol/L), PTH fell 0.4±0.1 pmol/L (mean±SEM; P=0.008).

conclusionsWe conclude that vitamin D deficiency is common in young women in Hong Kong. The cross-sectional analysis indicates that optimal 25(OH)D is >40 nmol/L, and the longitudinal data is consistent with a higher optimal value which is not defined in this study's results.
