1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

contextVitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25OHD]) deficiency (<20 ng/mL) and insufficiency (20-29 ng/mL) are common in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), but data regarding their skeletal effects in PHPT are limited.

objectiveThe objective was to evaluate the association between 25OHD levels and PHPT severity. DESIGN, SETTINGS, AND

participantsThis is a cross-sectional analysis of 100 PHPT patients with and without 25OHD insufficiency and deficiency from a university hospital setting. OUTCOME MEASURES: We measured calciotropic hormones, bone turnover markers, and bone mineral density (BMD) by dual x-ray absorptiometry.

resultsLower 25OHD was associated with some (PTH: r = -0.42; P < .0001; 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D: r = -0.27; P = .008; serum PO4: r = 0.31; P = .002) but not all (serum/urine calcium) indicators of PHPT severity. Lower 25OHD was also associated with younger age, higher body mass index, male gender, better renal function, and lower vitamin D intake. Comparison of those with deficient (<20 ng/mL; 19%) vs insufficient (20-29 ng/mL; 35%) vs replete (≥30 ng/mL; 46%) 25OHD demonstrated more severe PHPT as reflected by higher PTH (mean ± SEM, 126 ± 10 vs 81 ± 7 vs 72 ± 7 pg/mL; P < .0001) but no difference in nephrolithiasis, osteoporosis, fractures, serum or urinary calcium, bone turnover markers, or BMD after adjustment for age and weight. In women, T-scores at the 1/3 radius were lower in those with 25OHD of 20-29 ng/mL, compared to those who were vitamin D replete (P = .048). In multiple regression modeling, 25OHD (but not PTH) was an independent predictor of 1/3 radius BMD.

conclusionVitamin D deficiency is associated with more severe PHPT as reflected by PTH levels, but effects on BMD are limited to the cortical 1/3 radius and are quite modest. These data support international guidelines that consider PHPT patients with 25OHD <20 ng/mL to be deficient. However, in this cohort with few profoundly vitamin D-deficient patients, vitamin D status did not appear to significantly impact clinical presentation or bone density.
