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

Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are at risk of poor nutrition due to a number of factors. Feeding, eating, drinking, and swallowing (FEDS) problems are common in these children and may result in protein-calorie malnutrition usually accompanied by micronutrient deficiencies. Vitamin D is among the elements whose uptake is obstructed. Insufficient exposure to solar radiation in children and adolescents with CP adds to further decreasing serum vitamin D levels thus potentially affecting growth, bone density, and muscle function. Since maintaining long-term adherence to daily oral administration of vitamin D in this population is often difficult, bolus therapy by using vitamin D-fortified products could be an alternative way of effective and safe vitamin D intake. PURPOSE: Assessing the efficacy of administration of bolus vitamin D in fortified juice for increasing 25(OH)D levels in a group of 15 children with CP.

resultsThe juice was well tolerated, and a significant increase in 25(OH)D levels was observed from 54.1 to 110.3 nmol/L (p < 0.0001) 4 weeks after the administration without any case of hypercalcemia.
