Vitamin D Supplementation in Childhood - A Review of Guidelines.
Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 25 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
Vitamin D, a unique vitamin with endocrine function is required in the human body primarily for calcium homeostasis and possibly several other functions. Deficiency of the vitamin is extremely frequent world-wide. Studies on Indian population place the prevalence of deficiency at 70 to 100% in healthy individuals. There are several guidelines available on definition of vitamin D deficiency and supplementation in healthy children and adults. Sufficiency or deficiency of the vitamin depend upon the levels of 25OHD and various cut-offs are suggested by different groups formulating the guidelines. Although the vitamin is synthesized in the skin with the help of sunlight, it is mostly agreed by various groups that oral supplementation must be done in infants and in certain high risk groups. No such formal guidelines currently exist for Indian children though there is a need to develop one.
