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

The majority of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is protein bound and perhaps less available than the free fraction of 25(OH)D; therefore, researchers have proposed that the measurement of free 25(OH)D in human serum may be a better indicator of vitamin D health status than total 25(OH)D. The availability of a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the determination of free 25(OH)D provides a method for direct measurement of the low levels of non-protein bound 25(OH)D. As an initial step towards harmonization of measurements of free 25(OH)D, the ELISA was used to measure free 25(OH)D in three existing Standard Reference Materials (SRMs): SRM 972a Vitamin D Metabolites in Frozen Human Serum, SRM 2973 Vitamin D Metabolites in Frozen Human Serum (High Level), and SRM 1949 Frozen Prenatal Human Serum. Target values for free 25(OH)D in the nine SRM serum pools, obtained by combining the results from two laboratories, ranged from 3.76 ± 0.36 to 10.0 ± 0.58 pg/mL. Of particular significance is the assignment of free 25(OH)D target values to SRM 1949, which consists of four serum pools from non-pregnant female donors of reproductive age and pregnant women in each of the three trimesters and which also has values assigned for vitamin D binding protein, which increases during pregnancy. The availability of target values for free 25(OH)D in these SRMs will allow researchers to validate new analytical methods and to compare their results with other researchers as an initial step towards harmonization of measurements among different studies and laboratories.
