Assessment of vitamin D levels in patients with oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma-A cross-sectional study.

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
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess and compare the serum and salivary levels of Vitamin D in patients with oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with healthy controls. Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 60 patients reporting to the department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, and included patients with OPMDs, OSCC and healthy controls. The Vitamin D levels were estimated using the chemiluminescence immunoassay. One-way ANOVA was used to compare mean and statistical difference between the groups. Tukey's post HOC test calculated for inter group difference. Serum and salivary Vitamin D levels were corelated with Pearson's coefficient. The values of p < 0.005 was considered as significant. Results: The levels of Vitamin D were decreased in study group as compared to controls both in serum and saliva. (p < 0.001). Between serum and salivary Vitamin D levels, a strong association was discovered using the Pearson's coefficient value of 0.737 (p < 0.001). Conclusion: In this study, patients with both OPMDs and OSCC had Vitamin D insufficiency & deficiency. Vitamin D level assessment should be included as a standard component of routine investigations for these individuals.
