1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Hypovitaminosis D during pregnancy is suggested to have a link with complications in both mother and infant. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of two doses of vitamin D3 supplementation during pregnancy on maternal and cord blood vitamin D status, inflammatory biomarkers, and maternal and neonatal outcomes. A total of 84 pregnant women (gestational age of <12 weeks) were randomly allocated to one of two groups: (a) 1,000-IU/d vitamin D and (b) 2,000 IU/d. Biochemical assessments (25-hydroxycalciferol (25(OH)D), hs-CRP, and cell-culture supernatant concentrations of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α) of mothers were performed at the beginning and 34 weeks of gestation. Assessments of infants at delivery comprised cord blood serum concentrations of 25(OH)D, hs-CRP, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, birth sizes, and Apgar score. Circulating concentrations of 25(OH)D increased in both intervention groups with more increment in 2,000 IU/d than in 1,000 IU/d (46.7 ± 30.7 vs. 24.0 ± 21.07 nmol L
