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

introduction and hypothesisOur aim was to characterize the relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] status with pelvic floor symptom distress and impact on quality of life.

methodsA retrospective chart review was performed in women with a 25(OH)D level drawn within 1 year of their gynecology/urogynecology visit. Validated questionnaires including the Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory (CRADI)-8 and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) were used. Multivariate analyses characterized pelvic floor disorder (PFD) symptom differences among women by vitamin D status.

resultsWe studied 394 women. Mean ± standard deviation (SD) 25(OH)D levels were higher in women without than with PFD symptoms (35.0 ± 14.1 and 29.3 ± 11.5 ng/ml, respectively (p < 0.001)]. The prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency was 51% (136/268). CRADI-8 and IIQ-7 scores were higher among women with vitamin D insufficiency (p = 0.03 and p = 0.001, respectively). Higher IIQ-7 scores were independently associated with vitamin D insufficiency (p < 0.001).

conclusionsInsufficient vitamin D is associated with increased colorectal symptom distress and greater impact of urinary incontinence on quality of life.
