The association between vitamin D status and recurrent wheezing.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo investigate association between vitamin D status and recurrent wheezing in infants.
methodsThirty infants with recurrent wheezing and 45 healthy, similar aged infants without any history of acute or chronic illness were included in the study. The clinical features of infants were recorded and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels were measured. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 13 package program.
resultsThe mean value of 25 (OH) D vitamin levels were 22.1 ± 8.9 IU/L and 18.8 ± 11 IU/L for the control and recurrent attack group respectively. Seventy-three percent of subjects with recurrent wheezing had vitamin D levels in the deficient range (<20 ng/ml) and 48.9 % had vitamin D levels under < 20 ng/ml in the control group. The percentage of insufficient vitamin D levels (<30 ng/ml) were 90 and 77.8 for the patient and control group respectively. Eight patients had extremely deficient vitamin D (<10 ng/ml) levels. There was no statistical significance between the groups in terms of the distribution of 25 (OH)D level.
conclusionsThe present study did not demonstrate significant association between vitamin D status and recurrent wheezing in the infants.
