Seasonal variation of asthma control, lung function tests and allergic inflammation in relation to vitamin D levels: a prospective annual study.

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
introductionThere are scarce data about the role of vitamin D (vitD) in asthma control related to seasons and other confounders.
aimTo investigate the seasonal relationship between vitD levels and asthma control, lung function tests (LFTs) and cytokines during a 1-year period, among 7-17-year-old asthmatic children. MATERIAL AND
methodsThirty patients with asthma with house dust mite monosensitization were evaluated 3 monthly about the previous month's health and vitD related lifestyle factors and asthma control test (ACT), spirometry and bronchial provocation test for a year. Serum vitD, vitD binding protein (VDBP), total IgE levels, absolute eosinophil and Treg counts and cytokine levels were simultaneously measured. The seasonal changes of vitD and other parameters and the relationship between 120 pooled data sets of vitD and major outcomes were evaluated.
resultsMean vitD levels, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV
conclusionsThis study revealed that asthma control measures, LFTs and IgE levels were significantly related to serum vitD levels, independent from age, body mass index, inhaled corticosteroid use, sun exposure and season among asthmatic children. Vitamin D levels showed a positive correlation with Treg counts and a negative correlation with Th2 type cytokines.
