Association of vitamin d with glycemic control in Saudi patients with type 2 diabetes: A retrospective chart review study in an emerging university hospital.

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
backgroundVitamin D (mainly 25-hydroxyvitamin D, 25[OH]D) has stimulated increasing interest in Saudi Arabia over the current years due to its association with several different chronic diseases such as diabetes. This study aims to ascertain whether the vitamin D level has any influence on glycemic control in Saudi patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
methodThis retrospective study included 200 patients with T2DM who visited Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University Hospital between January 2015 and December 2015. Venous blood was collected and examined for "serum/plasma levels of 25(OH)D" and related variables using kit methods. HbA1C levels <7% and ≥7% were taken as indicators of good and poor glycemic control, respectively. An association between vitamin D deficiency and poor glycemic control was determined using multinomial logistic regression analysis.
resultsAmong the total of 200 patients with type 2 diabetes, 118 (59%) were female and 82 (41%) were males with the mean age 42.4 ± 14.8 years. Good glycemic control (HbA1c < 7) was observed in 127 (63.5%), and poor glycemic control (HbA1c > 7) was found in 73(36.5%). The mean serum 25(OH)vit D was 20.27 ± 8.66 ng/mL, with (52% vs 82%; P ≤ .001) of subjects identified to have vitamin D deficiency in good and poor glycemic control groups, respectively.
conclusionTaken together, our results demonstrated an association of vitamin D level with poor glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, additional studies with larger sample size from local population are warranted in future to confirm and extend the findings of the present study.
