Predictive value of Vitamin D levels in pregnant women on gestational length and neonatal weight in China: a population-based retrospective study.
Article in Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundVitamin D deficiency, a common occurrence among pregnant women, is an emerging public health concern worldwide. According to research, prenatal vitamin D deficiency is associated with various complications. This study assessed the vitamin D status of pregnant women in Yanbian, Jilin Province, as well as the correlation and predictive value of their vitamin D levels in relation to gestational length (weeks) and fetal weight, aiming to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
methodsWe conducted a population-based retrospective study involving 510 pregnant women from August 2019 to October 2022. Blood samples were collected at 16-20 weeks of gestation for the detection of serum vitamin D levels. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 28.0 and R 4.1.0 software. Multifactorial logistic regression analysis was employed to establish whether each variable was a risk factor for deliveries at ≤ 38 gestational weeks and low fetal weight. These results were used to construct a risk prediction model, and the model's predictive efficacy was evaluated. Results or differences with p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.
resultsMultifactorial logistic regression analysis revealed that vitamin D ≤ 14.7 ng/mL(OR: 1.611; 95% CI: 1.120-2.318; P = 0.010), Bone Mineral Density (BMD) T-value ≤-1(OR: 1.540; 95%CI: 1.067-2.223; P = 0.021), and gestational hypertension(OR: 7.173; 95% CI: 1.482-34.724; P = 0.014) were the independent risk factors for deliveries at ≤ 38 gestational weeks. Additionally, vitamin D ≤ 14.7 ng/mL(OR: 1.610; 95%CI: 1.123-2.307; P = 0.009), BMD T-value ≤ -1(OR: 1.560; 95%CI: 1.085-2.243; P = 0.016), and gestational hypertension(OR: 4.262; 95% CI: 1.058-17.167; P = 0.041) were the independent risk factors for low fetal weight (< 3400 g).
conclusionThis study revealed that low vitamin D levels are an independent risk factor for a short gestational length and low fetal weight. Prenatal low BMD T-value and comorbid hypertensive disorders were also found to increase the risk of a short gestational length and low fetal weight.
