A Prospective Cohort Study of Bioavailable 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels as a Marker of Vitamin D Status in Nontuberculous Mycobacterial Pulmonary Disease.
Observational study in Nutrients, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Research on vitamin D in patients with nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) pulmonary disease (PD) is limited. We aimed to compare the vitamin D parameters of patients with NTM-PD to those of a healthy control group, and to assess the possible predictive markers for a clinical response. We prospectively enrolled 53 patients with NTM-PD between January 2014 and December 2016. The clinical data and vitamin D indices, including total, free, bioavailable 25-(OH)D, and vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) genotyping, were measured at baseline and six months after enrollment. An external dataset of 226 healthy controls was compared with the NTM-PD group. The mean age of subjects was 53 years; 54.5% were male. The NTM-PD group was older, predominantly female, and had a lower body mass index (BMI) than the controls. The proportion of patients with vitamin D concentration <50 nmol/L was 52.8% in the NTM-PD group and 54.9% in the control group (
