Vitamin D
Article in GeroScience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Vitamin D deficiency is associated with a variety of age-related diseases and is becoming increasingly more prevalent in the population over time. Some diseases associated with deficiency are cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegeneration. This association, as well as the fact that vitamin D has been demonstrated to play an important role in a variety of extraskeletal processes, has led some to claim that vitamin D is an essential longevity vitamin. However, the role of vitamin D in healthy aging has been difficult to determine. In order to study vitamin D in the context of aging, the model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), was employed. To study vitamin D's impact on aging and age-related disease, lifespan and health span were measured across three different genetic strains of C. elegans. Strains investigated were wildtype (N2), worms with a mutant vitamin D receptor ortholog (nhr-8), and worms engineered to represent Alzheimer disease (gnals2). Bioinformatic analysis of available public data was also performed in order to identify the transcriptional response produced in N2 worms treated with vitamin D
