Vitamin D and Asthma: a Systematic Review of Clinical Trials.
Synthesis in Current nutrition reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purpose of the reviewTo perform a systematic review of prospective clinical trials to determine whether improving vitamin D status improves asthma control. RECENT
findingsIn cross sectional studies suboptimal viramin D status is often associated with poor asthma control. However, decreased 25-hydroxycholecalciferol (25 (OH) D) concentrations might not be causally associated with asthma control. We performed a systematic review until December 15, 2021 according to PRISMA guideline, searching MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-Process, Embase, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Two searches were performed, the first using "vitamin D" and the second using "Vitamin D" or "ergocalciferol" or "cholecalciferol" and "Asthma". From 419 retrieved papers, after removal of duplicate and after using exclusion criteria, 28 full-text articles were eligible, of which 6 remained for quantitative analysis and 11 (9 studies) for qualitative analysis. From both analyses, prospective studies do not support that improving the vitamin D status of asthmatic children improves asthma control.
