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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundVitamin D deficiency is associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to investigate the serum vitamin D levels in children with vasovagal syncope (VVS) and explore the correlation of vitamin D status and circadian rhythm of blood pressure in VVS pediatric patients.

methodsThis was a retrospective study. 130 syncopal children diagnosed with VVS were included in the study. 110 age and gender matched healthy individuals were enrolled as control. According to serum 25(OH)D levels, VVS patients were divided into vitamin D sufficient group and vitamin D deficient group. Detailed information of VVS children with vitamin D deficiency and sufficiency on demographic data, baseline laboratory testing, echocardiogram, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, and Holter ECG recording were extracted and analyzed.

resultsVVS children had a higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency compared with healthy individuals (33.8% vs. 20.0%,

conclusionVVS pediatric patients had a higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency. VVS children with vitamin D deficiency showed a higher rate of non-dipper blood pressure, suggesting that vitamin D deficiency is correlated with impaired circadian rhythm of blood pressure.
