Vitamin D
Article in Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology of India, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05151393 (Correlation Between Serum Vitamin D3 Level and Incidence of Uterine Leiomyoma in Egyptian Women), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
purposeVitamin D deficiency has been proposed to be a risk factor in the pathogenesis of uterine fibroid in few recently published studies conducted in Europe and Africa. Nevertheless, no study has ever addressed similar query in Indian women where hypovitaminosis is very common.
methodsA total of 144 women of age group 20-50 years belonging to Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India, were included in the study. Out of which, 72 women had uterine fibroids and rest healthy women without fibroids served as controls. All women were subjected to ultrasound examination of uterus followed by measurement of serum FSH level (on 3rd day of menstruation) and serum vitamin D
resultsThe mean serum concentration of vitamin D
