Prevalence and Risk Factors of Hypovitaminosis-D in Children with Cognitive and Movement Disorders.
Article in Indian 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
objectivesTo document the prevalence of hypovitaminosis-D in children with intellectual and movement disorders and to identify the risk factors in vitamin D deficient children.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study on 90 children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. The prevalence of hypovitaminosis-D and the risk factors such as sun exposure, age-appropriate mobility, diet, skin color and anti-epileptic medications were examined in children with cognitive disorders and movement disorders.
resultsThe mean serum vitamin D level in children with cognitive disability (n = 46) was found to be 26.7 ± 16.3 ng/L and in the children with movement disability (n = 44) it was 27.9 ± 10.5 ng/L. Though the risk factors were found in greater numbers in children in the deficient group (vitamin D < 30 ng/L), the difference between the two groups was not significant. Of the 90 children, 86 (95.5%) had at least one sign of vitamin D deficiency. Lowest levels of vitamin D were seen in autistic spectrum disorder and learning disabilities in the Cognitive Disability group and hemiplegia in the Movement Disability group.
conclusionsThe prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in children with neurodevelopmental disabilities was 72.2%, with 76.1% in the cognitive disability group and 68.2% in the movement disability group. The risk factors were more common in vitamin D deficient children.
