Trial report in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03792984 (The Effect of Calcium and Vitamin D Supplements as an Adjuvant Therapy to Metformin on Metabolic and Hormonal Disturbances in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 42 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

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.

Abstract

contextExperimental evidence supports a relevance of vitamin D (VitD) for reproduction; however, data in humans are sparse and inconsistent.

objectiveTo assess the relationship of VitD status with ovulation induction (OI) outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

designA retrospective cohort.

settingSecondary analysis of randomized controlled trial data.

participantsParticipants in the Pregnancy in PCOS I (PPCOS I) randomized controlled trial (n = 540) met the National Institutes of Health diagnostic criteria for PCOS.

interventionsSerum 25OHD levels were measured in stored sera.

main outcome measuresPrimary, live birth (LB); secondary, ovulation and pregnancy loss after OI.

resultsLikelihood for LB was reduced by 44% for women if the 25OHD level was < 30 ng/mL (<75 nmol/L; odds ratio [OR], 0.58 [0.35-0.92]). Progressive improvement in the odds for LB was noted at thresholds of ≥38 ng/mL (≥95 nmol/L; OR, 1.42 [1.08-1.8]), ≥40 ng/mL (≥100 nmol/L; OR, 1.51 [1.05-2.17]), and ≥45 ng/mL (≥112.5 nmol/L; OR, 4.46 [1.27-15.72]). On adjusted analyses, VitD status was an independent predictor of LB and ovulation after OI.

conclusionsIn women with PCOS, serum 25OHD was an independent predictor of measures of reproductive success after OI. Our data identify reproductive thresholds for serum 25OHD that are higher than recommended for the nonpregnant population.
