Vitamin D-insufficiency: An estimate of the situation in Germany.
Article in Dermato-endocrinology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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
backgroundVitamin D insufficiency is increasingly recognized as an important risk factor in the pathogenesis of falls and fractures and may increase the risk of other diseases. The aim of this study was to obtain information about the vitamin D supply from a representative cohort of the German population.
methods264 General practitioners participated in the DeViD-Trial (D-Vitamin in Deutschland) by taking blood samples from their consenting daily ambulant patients regardless of the actual reason for consultation. In these blood samples vitamin D [25(OH)D] and other related parameters were measured at a central laboratory. The patients filled in a simple questionnaire (i.e., age, sex, etc.). The trial was performed between February 26 and May 25, 2007.
resultsLaboratory and personal data were documented for 1,343 individuals (615 men, 728 women). The age distribution ranged from 20 to 99 y, the mean age of the whole cohort was 57.6 y (men 58.2, women 57.2). The mean 25-OH-D-value for the whole cohort was 16.2 ng/ml (range: 6.0 to 66.8, median 14.1 ng/ml). Ten percent of the patients had 25(OH)D-values below 7 ng/ml, 65% below 20 ng/ml and 92% showed values below 30 ng/ml. In the more recent literature, 25(OH)D values below 30 ng/ml are regarded as sub-optimal for bone, muscle and general health. Correspondingly it can be stated that in this representative population there is a high prevalence of moderate to severe vitamin D-insufficiency regardless of young or old age.
