Relationship between vitamin D and asthma from gestational to adulthood period: a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.
Synthesis in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundDespite numerous studies investigating vitamin D, its impact on asthma is still unknown. The aim of our meta-analysis is to analyze the vitamin D supplementation influence on asthma prevention and treatment ranging from gestational to adulthood period.
methodsFifteen randomized clinical trials were included after database search. Studies contained the analyzed endpoints: the number of asthma and wheezing occurrence in gestational and infantile periods, the change of childhood/adult asthma control test score and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in childhood and adulthood periods. Random effects model was used to calculate effect sizes.
resultsSupplementation by women during pregnancy period decreased the wheezing occurrence in their children by 23% (RR = 0.77; 95% CI [0.64; 0.92]; p < 0.0049, I
conclusionsOur meta-analysis showed the varying results depending on patient's life period. It is important to further investigate the role of vitamin D supplementation in asthma management.
