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
unlabelledIn this cross-sectional study in Vietnam, the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency was 46% in adult women and 20% in adult men. There was a linear inverse relationship between serum 25(OH)D and PTH concentrations, but there was no threshold of 25(OH)D at which PTH levels plateaued.
introductionVitamin D insufficiency is adversely associated with health outcomes. Vitamin D status in Asian populations is not well documented. This study sought to assess vitamin D status and its relationship to parathyroid hormone in a Vietnamese population.
methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 205 men and 432 women aged 18-87 years, who were randomly sampled from various districts in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) according to a proportional sampling scheme. Serum concentration of 25(OH)D and PTH were measured by the Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay on the Roche Elecsys 10100/201 system (Roche Diagnosis Elecsys). Vitamin D insufficiency was quantified as serum 25(OH)D levels below 30 ng/ml (75 nmol/L).
resultsThe average age for men and women was 43.8 ± 18.4 years (mean ± SD) and 47.7 ± 17.1 years, respectively. The mean 25(OH)D concentration in men (36.8 ± 10.2 ng/mL) was significantly higher than in women (30.1 ± 5.9; P < 0.0001). The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in men was 20% (41/205) which was significantly lower than in women (46%, 199/432). Age, height and weight were independent predictors of 25(OH)D concentrations, and the three factors explained 15% and 5% of variance in 25(OH)D in men and women, respectively. There was a linear inverse relationship between serum 25(OH)D and PTH concentrations, but there was no threshold of 25(OH)D at which PTH levels plateaued.
conclusionsThese data show that vitamin D insufficiency is common even in tropical region, and that women had a greater risk of vitamin D insufficiency than men. These data suggest that an elevation in PTH cannot be used as a marker for vitamin D deficiency.
