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
Background: This study aims to identify the prevalence of 25OHD deficiency in Syrian patients and investigate the relationship with obesity and lipid profile. Methods: A retrospective cohort study consisted of 201 patients of age >10 years, who referred to Al Assad and Al Mouwasat University Hospitals, Damascus, Syria from Oct/2020 to Oct/2021. The data was analyzed by using linear regressions and produced a matrix of correlations with significant equations between study variables. Results: Firstly, participants were divided depending on 25OHD levels, where 92.5% of patients had 25OHD <30 ng/mL. Inverse correlation between 25OHD and BMI (P ≤ 0.001) was observed, where severe 25OHD deficiency group had higher BMI (27.40 ± 7.22 kg/m Conclusion: A high prevalence of 25OHD deficiency was observed in this sample of Syrian patients. There is an inverse correlation between 25OHD and BMI regardless of age and gender. Moreover, the equation, that derived between 25OHD and BMI, represents a beneficial and an inexpensive tool in clinical practice to minimize testing of 25OHD by predicting its deficiency based on BMI and supports the impact of 25OHD supplementation for reduce BMI.
