Vitamin D Deficiency in End Stage Renal Disease Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Undergoing Hemodialysis.

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
objectivesTo assess the association of hypovitaminosis D with diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing hemodialysis. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre between July 2019 and February 2020. Patients with diagnosed ESRD who were on hemodialysis, with or without concomitant DM were registered. Vitamin D levels were categorized according to the severity of the deficiency or excess as 0-10 ng/mL, severely deficient; 11-20 ng/mL, deficient; 21-32 ng/mL; insufficient, 33-49 ng/mL, adequate; 50-65 ng/mL, optimum; and above that as high. Patients were stratified according to the status of DM. Results: In a total of 80, the mean age was 45.21±12.67 years with 51 (63.75%) males and 29 (36.25%) females. A total of 36 (45%) CKD patients had concomitant diabetes. The median vitamin D levels were 20.25ng/mL. It was found that chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients with concomitant DM had significantly lower levels of vitamin D [15.19±6.83 vs. 30.28±14.22 (p<0.001)]. Out of the 12 patients with a severe deficiency, three-fourths of the population had DM as comorbidity, while in those with 'deficiency', 19 (67.9%) had DM. The majority of the patients without DM had adequate or optimum levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
conclusionCurrent study indicated that deficiency of serum vitamin D is associated with concomitant DM in patients with CKD as the majority had a severe deficiency of serum 25(OH)D. Supplemental vitamin D may help correct the deficiency and prevent the associated complications in patients.
