Serum vitamin D status in children and adolescence with diabetes according to season and age.
Article in Annals of pediatric endocrinology & metabolism, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeIt is known that children with diabetes have more severe vitamin D deficiency than healthy children. This study aimed to investigate serum vitamin D status and analyze the relationships between serum vitamin D levels and clinical parameters in children with diabetes.
methodsWe checked serum vitamin D levels of children with diabetes aged below 18 years who were treated at our Department of Pediatrics between December 2011 and February 2012 (winter) as well as between June 2012 and August 2012 (summer). We retrospectively analyzed relationships between their serum vitamin D levels and clinical parameters.
resultsThe serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level in children with diabetes during winter was markedly lower than during summer (10.8±5.1 ng/mL vs. 17.6±5.6 ng/mL); vitamin D deficiency was more prevalent during winter (95% vs. 62%). However, there was no difference between children with diabetes and healthy children. In children with type I diabetes mellitus, among all the clinical parameters, age had the greatest negative correlation with serum vitamin D level.
conclusionIn children with diabetes, serum vitamin D levels showed marked seasonal variation. However, no clear relationship was identified between vitamin D deficiency and diabetes. This was because the control group had an equally high vitamin D deficiency rate. Additional studies including other clinical parameters after vitamin D supplementation in children with diabetes should be considered.
