Vitamin D, diet, and lifestyle in a chronic SCI population.
Article in Spinal cord, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
STUDY
designCross-sectional study.
objectivesDetermine dietary, lifestyle, and clinical factors associated with plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).
settingVeterans Affairs Medical Center in Boston, MA.
methods174 participants completed food frequency and health questionnaires, provided a blood sample, and underwent dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess %total body fat. Linear regression models were used to assess cross-sectional associations of personal, lifestyle, and nutritional factors with plasma 25(OH)D.
resultsIndependent factors positively associated with higher plasma 25(OH)D included vitamin D intake, age, hours of planned exercise, female sex, white race, wine consumption, and if a never or former smoker. The most important predictor of 25(OH)D was supplement intake. The majority of subjects (98.9% for vitamin D and 74.1% for calcium) did not meet the recommended daily allowance for adults from their diet alone. Level and completeness of SCI, injury duration, mobility, %total body fat, time outside, and comorbid diseases were not associated with plasma 25(OH)D.
conclusionsPlasma 25(OH)D level in chronic SCI is not associated with clinical factors specific to SCI such as injury level and completeness, injury duration, and mobility mode, but related to supplement intake and other lifestyle factors.
