[All-rounder vitamin D?]
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMany indications are discussed for vitamin D substitution, such as osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, cancer and psychiatric diseases. Also discussed is the fact that the majority of the German population suffer from a vitamin D deficiency.
objectiveReview of the study results for these individual diseases and a critical analysis of the currently established therapeutic reference range, which defines a vitamin D deficiency. MATERIAL AND
methodsA literature search was carried out in the statements of the German Society for Nutrition, in scientific publications and journals.
resultsThe study results on prevention and therapy of various diseases with vitamin D show inconsistent results. Well-established indications are the prevention of rickets in babies and the supportive therapy for osteoporosis. The currently established reference range for the definition of a vitamin D deficiency came from studies where vitamin D deficiency was correlated to an increase in parathyroid hormone. Different laboratories use different methods for measurement of vitamin D levels.
conclusionMore studies are needed to clarify the role of vitamin D in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Another problem is that different laboratories do not use the same measurement methods to determine vitamin D and the use of different methods leads to widely varying results which cannot be compared. Therefore, a standardization of the methods would be desirable.
