Vitamin D Metabolites, Body Composition, and Nutritional Status in Patients in the Long Term After Kidney Transplantation.
Article in Annals of transplantation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between body composition and nutritional status with the level of vitamin D metabolites 25(OH)D and 1,25(OH)₂D in patients in the long term after kidney transplantation (KTx). MATERIAL AND METHODS During 2 routine outpatient visits in summer and winter, the anthropometric and body composition measurements and laboratory data from 105 stable KTx patients were taken and the annual averages were analyzed. RESULTS Data of 64 patients (26 F, 38 M) at mean age 49.3±12.2 years and 5.6±2.7 years after KTx with mean BMI 26.9 kg/m² were included for final analysis. Mean annual 25(OH)D concentration was 18.76±6.32 ng/dl and 1,25(OH)₂D 86.65±18.0 pg/ml. A reverse relationship between 25(OH)D level and fat tissue index was observed (r=-0.26; P=0.039). 25(OH)D level increased together with body cell mass (r=0.30, P=0.017) and lean tissue mass values (r=0.30, P=0.015). The body weight and BMI were not associated with 25(OH)D or 1,25(OH)₂D level. A reverse relationship was found between: 25(OH)D and total cholesterol (r=-0.31, P=0.012) and LDL level (r=-0.25, P=0.049), and between 1,25(OH)₂D and HDL level (r=-0.25, P=0.046). No significant correlations between biochemical nutritional parameters, graft function and 25(OH)D or 1,25(OH)2D were noted. CONCLUSIONS Body composition is one of the factors affecting the vitamin D status in KTx patients. Fat tissue index is a negative predictor of 25(OH)D level in patients in the long term after KTx. A low level of 25(OH)D predisposes to lipids disturbances in KTx recipients.
