Assessment of Preptin peptide level in the sera of rachitic children and in breast milk of their mothers.
Article in Italian journal of pediatrics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPreptin is a 34-residue pancreatic hormone that stimulates osteoblast proliferation and reduces osteoblast apoptosis. RESEARCH
aimsTo measure levels of serum Preptin in rachitic children and in breastmilk of their mothers and to compare with levels in healthy non-rachitic children.
methodsThirty children with rickets and another 30 non-rachitic age and sex matched controls were subjected to detailed history, physical examination including anthropometric measurements, assessment of signs of rickets and laboratory measurement of serum vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase and Preptin. Mothers' breast milk Preptin were also measured.
resultsSignificantly lower serum Preptin (p < 0.001) in rachitic children with a significant negative correlation between serum Preptin and alkaline phosphatase (P < 0.0001). Lower breastmilk Preptin levels in mothers of rachitic children (P < 0.001) with a negative correlation between breastmilk Preptin and both maternal weight and BMI(P < 0.01&P < 0.02). Mothers' milk Preptin is positively correlated with serum Preptin and calcium in non-rachitic children(P < 0.001&0.04), but negatively correlated with their mothers' age (P < 0.01).
conclusionPreptin may play a role in the etiology of rickets in children. Further studies are recommended to evaluate Preptin role in treatment of rickets in children.
