Trends of vitamin D in asthma in the pediatric population for two decades: a systematic review.
Article in Clinical and experimental pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 exhibits anti-inflammatory properties through multiple mechanisms. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased inflammation, exacerbations, and overall worse outcomes in pediatric asthma and is observed in asthmatic children with obesity. In addition, given the increase in the prevalence of asthma over the last few decades, there has been enormous interest in vitamin D supplementation as a potential therapeutic option. However, recent studies have suggested no strong association between vitamin D levels or supplementation and childhood asthma. Recent studies have reported that obesity and vitamin D deficiency are associated with increased asthma symptoms. Thus, this review summarizes the findings of clinical trials regarding the role of vitamin D in pediatric asthma and analyzes the study trends of vitamin D over the past 2 decades.
