Neurological Symptoms That May Represent a Warning in Terms of Diagnosis and Treatment in a Group of Children and Adolescents with Vitamin D Deficiency.

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
aimThis research was intended to evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings of children presenting to our pediatric neurology clinic with symptoms potentially linked to vitamin D deficiency and with low vitamin D levels and the distribution of those findings by sex, age groups, and vitamin D levels.
methodsThis retrospective study involved patients presenting to our clinic with symptoms potentially associated with vitamin D deficiency and low serum concentrations of 25 OH vitamin D (25 OH D) (<75 nmol/L, 30 µg/mL). Patients' movement disorders and central nervous system-related symptoms at the time of presentation and serum 25 OH D, calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and magnesium (Mg) levels were recorded and evaluated in terms of age, sex, and vitamin D levels.
resultsEight hundred twenty-two cases of vitamin D deficiency were included in the study, 50.2% (
conclusionsOur study results show that vitamin D deficiency can present with different neurological findings and that these may vary according to age group, sex, and vitamin D levels. Clinicians must take particular care in pediatric cases with neurological findings in terms of the early diagnosis and treatment of vitamin D deficiency.
