Is There Any Relationship between Vitamin D Deficiency and Gross Motor Development in 12-Month-Old Children?
Article in Iranian journal of child neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveWe aimed to assess the possible relationship between vitamin D deficiency and gross motor developmental milestones in Iranian children in Tehran City, Iran. MATERIALS &
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 186 healthy children of one-yr-old age referring to a children hospital in Tehran, Iran from May 2015 to April 2016, were enrolled. The gross motor developmental milestone of children and their serum vitamin D concentration were evaluated.
resultsOverall, 186 children, 92 males (49.5%) were studied. Twenty-four patients (12.9%) just were able to sit without support, and 40 patients (21.5%) to stand alone and to sit without support. Besides, 122 patients (65.6%) were able to walk with assistant or alone and to sit without support and stand alone. Vitamin D was sufficient in 148 children (79.6%), insufficient in 32 (17.2%) and deficient in 6 (3.2%). Sufficient vitamin D was significantly correlated with walking ability (
conclusionConsidering the significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and gross motor developmental milestones in this population of children, children referring to gross motor developmental delay need to be thoroughly evaluated for vitamin D deficiency.
