The relationship between serum vitamin D levels and health-related quality of life in peritoneal dialysis patients.

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
introductionWe aimed to investigate the relationship between Vitamin D level and quality of life in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis as renal replacement therapy.
methods50 peritoneal dialysis patients aged between 18 and 73 years were included in this study. KDQOL-36 questionnaire was applied to rate the quality of life of the patients. This questionnaire consisted of 36 questions divided into five subscales. The patients were divided into two groups according to serum vitamin D levels. Patients with a serum 25(OH) D level < 20 ng/mL were identified as vitamin D deficiency group and those with a serum 25(OH)D level ≥ 20 ng/mL were identified as normal vitamin D group.
resultsThe patients had a mean age of 41.16 ± 16.05 years, 56% of them were females. The mean 25(OH) D levels of patients with 25 (OH) D levels < 20 ng/mL and those with ≥ 20 ng/mL were 10.50 ± 4.62 ng/mL and 25.55 ± 4.11 ng/mL, respectively. We found that all subscales of KDQOL-36 were lower with statistically significance in the group with Vitamin D (Vit-D) deficiency. Hemoglobin level was detected as independent risk factor for Symptom and problem list subscales and SF-12 physical component summary subscale (PCS) (P = 0.029, P = 0.047). Vit-D deficiency was detected as independent risk factors for kidney disease burden subscale and PCS (P = 0.035, P = 0.019). Hypertension was detected as independent risk factor for kidney disease burden subscale (P = 0.015).
conclusionOur study is the first to investigate the relationship between serum Vit-D level and quality of life by KDQOL-36 scale in peritoneal dialysis patients. We revealed that patients with low Vit-D levels had worse quality of life in all subscales.
