Vitamin D status in patients with cirrhosis of the liver and their relatives-A case control study from North India.
Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimLiver diseases interfere with the production of the metabolites of vitamin D required for activation, thus resulting in abnormal calcium and bone metabolism. Previous studies show inconsistent results of vitamin D level in non-cholestatic liver diseases. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in cirrhosis as compared to apparently normal relatives and its relationship with etiology and severity.
methodsOne hundred and sixty cirrhotic patients attending the Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, M L N Medical College, Allahabad, were enrolled, and 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] and calcium levels assessed. Vitamin D status was graded as insufficiency (20-30 ng/mL), deficiency (<20 ng/mL), and severe deficiency (<7 ng/mL). 25(OH)D levels of patients were compared with those of their healthy family members.
resultsForty-six percent of the normal population had 25(OH)D inadequacy, whereas 51.85% of patients with cirrhosis had 25(OH)D deficiency, and 28.12% had insufficiency. Thus, 80% of patients with cirrhosis of the liver had some form of vitamin D inadequacy. 12.5% of cirrhotics had severe vitamin D deficiency. Serum calcium (Ca
conclusionVitamin D insufficiency is highly prevalent in patients with cirrhosis irrespective of etiology and significantly more common than their healthy relatives. Measurement of 25(OH) vitamin D and replacement may be considered as part of the overall management of patients with cirrhosis of the liver as well as apparently healthy individuals.
