Treatment with Vitamin D3 in Vitamin D Deficient Adolescents: A Pilot Study.
Article in Global pediatric health, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Multiple epidemiological studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent amongst adolescents in the USA. However, recommendations regarding the treatment of vitamin D deficiency in healthy adolescents are not well defined. We carried out a prospective pilot study, to determine whether treatment with 2000 international units of vitamin D3 daily for 3 months, would normalize the vitamin D levels in vitamin D deficient adolescents. Following treatment there was a 56.02% increase in the vitamin D levels from the mean baseline values and 80.39% of the subjects normalized their vitamin D levels. There were no adverse effects associated with this intervention. This study offers complementary guidelines to the existing recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics on the optimal dose and duration of vitamin D3 therapy in vitamin D deficient, but otherwise healthy adolescents. Further prospective, large scale, case control studies are indicated to validate our results.
