Association of Severe Vitamin D Deficiency with Hospitalization in the Previous Year in Hospitalized Exacerbated COPD Patients.
Observational study in International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Purpose: Vitamin D deficiency (VDD, 25-hydroxyvitamin D < 20 ng/mL) has been reported associated with exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but sometimes controversial. Research on severe vitamin D deficiency (SVDD, 25-hydroxyvitamin D < 10 ng/mL) in exacerbation of COPD is limited. Patients and Methods: We performed a retrospective observational study in 134 hospitalized exacerbated COPD patients. 25-hydroxyvitamin D was modeled as a continuous or dichotomized (cutoff value: 10 or 20 ng/mL) variable to evaluate the association of SVDD with hospitalization in the previous year. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to find the optimal cut-off value of 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Results: In total 23% of the patients had SVDD. SVDD was more prevalent in women, and SVDD group tended to have lower blood eosinophils counts. 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was significantly lower in patients who were hospitalized in the previous year (13.6 vs 16.7 ng/mL, Conclusion: SVDD probably showed a more stable association with hospitalization in the previous year in hospitalized exacerbated COPD patients. Reasons for lower eosinophil counts in SVDD group needed further exploration.
