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.

Abstract

backgroundCorrection of nutritional vitamin deficiency is recommended in children with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The optimal daily dose of vitamin D to achieve or maintain vitamin D sufficiency is unknown.

methodsWe conducted a phase III, double-blind, randomized trial of two doses of vitamin D

resultsNinety-eight patients were enrolled: 49 randomized into each group. Eighty (81.6%) patients completed the study and were analyzed. Baseline plasma 25(OH)D levels were ≥ 30 ng/mL in 12 (35.3%) and 12 (27.3%) patients in the 1000 IU and 4000 IU treatment groups, respectively. At 6 months, plasma 25(OH)D levels were ≥ 30 ng/mL in 33.3% (95% CI: 18.0-51.8%) and 74.4% (95% CI: 58.8-86.5%) in the 1000 IU and 4000 IU treatment groups, respectively (p = 0.0008). None of the patients developed vitamin D toxicity or hypercalcemia.

conclusionsIn children with CKD, 1000 IU of daily vitamin D CLINICAL
