Comparison of vitamin D metabolism in early healthy and late osteoporotic postmenopausal women.
Article in Calcified tissue international, 1990. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
We studied 20 healthy premenopausal women aged 36.5 +/- 4.0 years (mean +/- 1 SD), 123 healthy postmenopausal women aged 50.0 +/- 2.4 years, and 103 postmenopausal women aged 65.1 +/- 5.6 years with symptomatic osteoporosis (forearm and spinal fracture). Serum levels of vitamin D metabolites [25(OH)D, 24,25(OH)2D3, and 1,25-(OH)2D] were compared with (1) bone mass in the forearm (single photon absorptiometry) and in the spine (dual photon absorptiometry); (2) biochemical indices of bone formation (serum alkaline phosphatase, plasma bone Gla protein), and bone resorption (fasting urinary hydroxyproline); and (3) other biochemical estimates of calcium metabolism (serum calcium, serum phosphate, 24-hour urinary calcium, intestinal absorption of calcium). The present study revealed no difference in any of the vitamin D metabolites between the premenopausal women, the healthy postmenopausal women and the osteoporotic women as a group. The concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D and 25(OH)D were significantly lower in patients with spinal fracture than in those with forearm fracture. In the early postmenopausal women serum 1,25(OH)D was related to forearm bone mass (r = -0.20; P less than 0.05), intestinal calcium absorption (r = 0.18; P less than 0.05), and 24-hour urinary calcium (r = 0.21; P less than 0.05); serum 25(OH)D was related to spinal bone mass (r = 0.23; P less than 0.01). In the osteoporotic women, serum vitamin D metabolites were not related to bone mass, but 1,25(OH)2D was related to bone Gla protein (r = 0.33; P less than 0.001), serum phosphate (r = -0.27; P less than 0.01), and 24-hour urinary calcium (r = 0.43; P less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
