Association Between Serum 25(OH)D Level and Nonspecific Musculoskeletal Pain in Acute Rehabilitation Unit Patients.
Article in JPEN. Journal of parenteral and enteral nutrition, 2016. 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
objectiveNonspecific musculoskeletal pain can be difficult to manage in acute rehabilitation unit (ARU) patients. We investigated whether vitamin D status is a potential modifiable risk factor for nonspecific musculoskeletal pain in ARU patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study focused on 414 adults from an inpatient ARU in Mission Viejo, California, between July 2011 and June 2012. On ARU admission, all patients had serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels measured and were assessed for nonspecific musculoskeletal pain. We performed multivariable logistic regression to test the association of serum 25(OH)D level with nonspecific musculoskeletal pain while adjusting for clinically relevant covariates.
resultsAmong these 414 patients, mean (SD) 25(OH)D level was 29 (12) ng/mL, and 30% had nonspecific musculoskeletal pain. After adjustment for age, sex, race, body mass index, Functional Independence Measure score, Deyo-Charlson Comorbidity Index, fractures, steroid use, history of osteoporosis/osteomalacia, and patient type (orthopedic, cardiac, neurological, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury), serum 25(OH)D level was inversely associated with nonspecific musculoskeletal pain (odds ratio [OR] per 10 ng/mL, 0.67; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.48-0.82). When 25(OH)D level was dichotomized, patients with levels <20 ng/mL had higher odds of nonspecific musculoskeletal pain (OR, 2.33; 95% CI, 1.23-4.17) compared with patients with levels ≥20 ng/mL.
conclusionsIn adult patients, serum 25(OH)D level on admission to ARU was inversely associated with nonspecific musculoskeletal pain. These data support the need for randomized, controlled trials to test the role of vitamin D supplementation to improve nonspecific musculoskeletal pain in ARU patients.
