High Rates of Vitamin D Deficiency in Acute Rehabilitation Patients.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 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
objectiveTo determine the prevalence of low vitamin D (<30 ng/mL), including vitamin D insufficiency (20-29.9 ng/mL) and deficiency (<20 ng/mL), in an acute rehabilitation setting.
designCross-sectional, retrospective cohort study.
settingUniversity-affiliated inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) at a metropolitan county hospital.
participantsPatients (N=100; 64 men/36 women), aged 19-92 years (mean, 62±18.9y), who were admitted to and discharged from an IRF over a 6-month study period. The most frequent admitting diagnoses included stroke (n=11), brain injury (n=36), spinal cord injury (n=14), and polytrauma (n=10).
interventionsNot applicable.
main outcome measuresSerum vitamin-25 (OH)D level at admission to the IRF.
resultsOf 100 patients, 76% had low vitamin D (<30 ng/mL), with 29% demonstrating vitamin D insufficiency (20-29.9 ng/mL) and 47% demonstrating vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL). Younger patients demonstrated higher rates of vitamin D deficiency compared with older patients (
conclusionsLow vitamin D is common in patients admitted to the IRF, with rates more than double those reported in the general population among individuals younger than 45 years. The current results suggest that the IRF setting may be a favorable checkpoint to screen for and initiate treatment of low vitamin D and optimize rehabilitation outcomes.
