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

Testing for vitamin D deficiency (VDD) has been on the increase due to its association with several diseases. However, inappropriate testing for VDD, defined as screening for VDD among individuals with a low risk, has been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with potentially inappropriate screening for VDD among medically underserved populations in West Texas. Data were from 21,407 women who were hospitalized from 2016 to 2018 at a large regional health system. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The median age of patients was 40 years. While the proportion of patients tested for VDD reduced from 8.9% to 7.6% (
