Low vitamin D status among pregnant Latin American and Caribbean women with HIV Infection.
Article in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2015. 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 evaluate the prevalence and predictors of low vitamin D status among pregnant women with HIV infection.
methodsThe present cross-sectional study analyzed repository specimens collected at 12-34 weeks of pregnancy among women enrolled across 17 sites in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2002 and 2009. Logistic regression modeling was used to identify factors associated with low vitamin D status (25-hydroxyvitamin D <30 ng/mL).
resultsAmong 715 women, 218 (30.5%) were vitamin D deficient (<20 ng/mL) and 252 (35.2%) were insufficient (21- /mL). Factors associated with low vitamin D status included residence in subtropical latitudes (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.97, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-2.88), assessment during non-summer seasons (autumn: aOR 1.85, 95% CI 1.20-2.86; spring: 4.3, 2.65-6.95; winter: 10.82, 5.74-20.41), employment (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.06-2.38), and assessment before 20 weeks of pregnancy (aOR 1.89, 95% CI 1.18-3.06). Factors protective against low vitamin D status were CD4 count below 200 cells per mm(3) (aOR 0.45, 95% CI 0.26-0.77) and protease inhibitors (aOR 0.62, 95% CI 0.40-0.95).
conclusionLow vitamin D status was prevalent among pregnant women with HIV infection. Further studies are warranted to identify the impact of low maternal vitamin D status.
