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

Rickets due to dietary calcium deficiency has been well described in black African children, but less is known about this condition in black adolescents. We investigated 26 black adolescents (19 males aged 11 to 19 years and 7 females aged 12 to 15 years) with rachitic leg deformities and 20 controls by routine iliac crest undecalcified cortical bone histomorphometry for disturbances of bone turnover and for mineralization defects, including severity of osteocytic osteolysis (Ot.Olysis) and periosteocytic osteolysis (Peri.Ot.Olysis) of the lacunar-canalicular space. Serum levels of calcium (sCa), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD), 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25(OH)
