Serum 25(OH) vitamin D level and its relation to diabetic peripheral neuropathy in Egyptian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

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
backgroundSome clinical studies demonstrated a significant association between vitamin D deficiency and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN).
objectiveThis study aims to evaluate the correlation between serum levels of 25(OH) vitamin D and DPN in Egyptian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). PATIENTS AND
methodSixty patients were known to have T2DM, which classified into the following: group I included 40 patients with DPN and group II included 20 diabetic patients, without DPN, compared with 30 apparently healthy subjects of matched age and sex as control group. Laboratory investigations including fasting and 2-h postprandial blood glucose levels, serum calcium, phosphorus, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), lipid profile, serum 25(OH) vitamin D, and nerve conduction studies were carried out for every participant to detect the existence and severity of DPN.
resultsVitamin D deficiency was found in 73.3% of T2DM groups and in 35% of control subjects with statistical significant differences (
conclusionVitamin D deficiency has a significant role in the development and severity of DPN in Egyptian patients with T2DM.
