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

Patients and medical professionals are showing renewed interest in vitamin D supplementation as a result of increased knowledge of the positive health effects of vitamin D supplementation, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, and the easy availability of over-the-counter vitamin D pills. We present a case of acute pancreatitis following vitamin D toxicity due to the administration of doses exceeding the recommended dosage. A 61-year-old man presented to us with elevated pancreatic enzymes, increased 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels, and deranged renal function tests. He was kept nil per oral and managed with intravenous fluids and denosumab injection. We advocate educating medical professionals about the frequently disregarded side effect of vitamin D supplementation. At the same time, it is critical to create awareness among the public about the harmful effects of self-medication.
