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

objectivesHigh prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (VDD) in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) was found in several epidemiological studies. The current study aimed to assess the Vitamin D status in children and adolescents with T1D and to examine the influence of the disease characteristics on vitamin D status in a specialized care centre in a tertiary hospital in Bangladesh.

methodsParticipants were enrolled in the cross-sectional study at the time of a regularly scheduled visit to the CDiC Paediatric Diabetes Center in BIRDEM 2(Bangladesh Institute of Research and Rehabilitation of Diabetes Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders), a tertiary care hospital in Bangladesh. The demographic and clinical data were collected through medical records with a structured questionnaire.

resultsAmong sixty study participants, most had inadequate levels of vitamin D: deficiency 31 (51.7%), insufficiency 14 (23.3%) and sufficiency 15 (25.0%). Participants with vitamin D deficiency (VDD) were significantly older compared to the sufficient and insufficient group (p = .029), and were residing in urban areas (p = .036) and from higher socioeconomic status (p = .014). BMI was significantly higher in VDD compared to the sufficient group (p = .040). Although we observed higher median values of daily insulin requirements and HbA1c values in patients with VDD compared to patients with vitamin D insufficiency or vitamin D sufficiency, these differences did not reach statistical significance.

conclusionsThe present study revealed that the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency among T1 diabetes children was very high. Future studies in large sample are required to assess hypovitaminosis D in youth with T1D and also the possible relating factors of vitamin D deficiency.
