Determinants of Plasma 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations among Breast Cancer Survivors in Korea.
Article in Nutrients, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
We identified demographic, lifestyle, and clinical factors associated with vitamin D status among breast cancer survivors. The vitamin D prediction model may be a useful surrogate of circulating 25-hydroxvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations when this measure was not available. We included a total of 216 Korean breast cancer survivors aged 21-79 years who had been diagnosed with stage I to III primary breast cancer and had breast cancer surgery at least 6 months before enrolment. We used linear and logistic regressions to identify determinants for the plasma 25(OH)D concentrations and vitamin D insufficiency (plasma 25(OH)D concentration < 50 nmol/L). We observed that 48.85% of breast cancer survivors had a plasma 25(OH)D concentration less than 50 nmol/L. We identified the following determinants for plasma 25(OH)D concentrations: time since diagnosis (β = -0.005 for 1 month increment), supplementary vitamin D intake (β = 0.06 for 10 μg/day increment), season of the blood draw (β = 0.35 for summer; β = 0.32 for fall; β = 0.26 for winter vs. spring), smoking status (β = 0.28 for former vs. never), use of any supplement (β = -0.35 for non-use vs. use), and the parity number (β = -0.30 for three or more vs. one) were associated with the plasma 25(OH)D concentrations. In addition to the aforementioned variables, body mass index (BMI) was associated with the prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency. We identified the determinants for the plasma 25(OH)D concentrations among Korean breast cancer survivors. Future studies are needed to investigate the role of vitamin D in the progression of breast cancer among Korean breast cancer survivors.
