Is there a role for vitamin D in the treatment of chronic pain?
Article in Inflammopharmacology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A brief survey of recent literature was conducted with regard to vitamin D and pain. There is evidence for and against a role for vitamin D in the treatment of chronic pain. The contradictory findings may have to do with study design or perhaps the type and intensity of pain. To answer the question whether there is a role for vitamin D in the treatment of chronic pain, larger and longer duration studies need to be conducted. The design should also be such to assess whether vitamin D might act to increase the effectiveness of existing analgesics and/or reduce the dose and duration of their use, thereby increasing safety.
