Preoperative vitamin D level does not affect the short-term functional outcome after total knee arthroplasty in elderly women.
Article in Knee surgery & related research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundWe aimed to evaluate the effect of vitamin D levels on the functional outcome of elderly women who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
methodsSeven hundred and four patients (1013 knees) who underwent primary TKA were included in our retrospective study. Preoperative vitamin D levels were measured and the relationship analyzed between these and age, weight, height, body mass index, and bone mineral density. Two hundred and twenty patients (220 knees) who received unilateral TKA and were followed up for more than 1 year after operation were divided into two groups: Group 1, serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) level < 20 ng/ml; and Group 2, 25(OH)D3 level ≥ 20 ng/ml. Both groups were evaluated for the relationship between vitamin D levels and postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score, Knee Society Knee Score (KSKS), Knee Society Function Score (KSFS), and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) score.
resultsThe number of vitamin D-deficient patients (< 20 ng/ml of serum 25(OH)D3 level) was 556 (79.0%). In the correlation analysis, the vitamin D level was negatively correlated with weight only (p = 0.033). No significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of postoperative VAS score, KSKS, KSFS, and WOMAC score.
conclusionsVitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in patients who underwent TKA. Vitamin D levels negatively correlated with weight. Low vitamin D level was not a risk factor for unsatisfactory TKA outcome in elderly women.
