Review in The Clinical biochemist. Reviews, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04308161 (The Effectiveness of Topical Oral Vitamin D Gel in Prevention of Radiation-induced Oral Mucositis), which is not on this map. Cited by 42 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D and E, are required for a wide variety of physiological functions. Over the past two decades, deficiencies of these vitamins have been associated with increased risk of cancer, type II diabetes mellitus and a number of immune system disorders. In addition, there is increasing evidence of interactions between these vitamins, especially between vitamins A and D. As a result of this enhanced clinical association with disease, translational clinical research and laboratory requests for vitamin measurements have significantly increased. These laboratory requests include measurement of 25-OHD (vitamin D), retinol (vitamin A) and α-tocopherol (vitamin E); the most accepted blood indicators for the assessment of body fat-soluble vitamin (FSV) status. There are significant obstacles to precise FSV measurement in blood. These obstacles include their physical and chemical properties, incomplete standardisation of measurement and limitations in the techniques that are currently used for quantification. The aim of this review is to briefly outline the metabolism and interactions of FSV as a prelude to identifying the current challenges for the quantification of blood vitamins A, D and E.
