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

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease. Recent studies have identified an association between low vitamin D levels and hypertension. We investigated the association between vitamin D levels and hypertension in the general population. We recruited 400 hypertensive subjects and compared them with 400 age- and sex-matched normotensive subjects. This study was carried out at Yashoda Hospital, Hyderabad, India from January 2015 to December 2017. Both groups underwent risk factor evaluation, estimation of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels, and C-reactive protein (CRP) and liver function tests. Out of the 400 hypertensive subjects, 164 (40.2%) had serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency, compared with 111 (27.7%) normotensive subjects (p = 0.0001). Deficiency of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D in hypertensive subjects was significantly associated with CRP positivity, low levels of mean serum calcium, low levels of mean serum phosphorous, high levels of mean alkaline phosphatase (p < 0.0001), and abnormal alanine transaminase (ALT) (p = 0.0015) compared with the same parameters in the normotensive subjects. After adjustment in the multiple logistic regression analysis, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency (odds: 1.78; 95% CI: 1.31-2.41), CRP positivity (odds: 1.48; 95% CI: 1.48-2.32) and abnormal ALT (odds: 1.2; 95% CI: 0.98-1.94) were significantly associated with hypertension. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency was significantly associated with hypertension.
