Vitamin D for very preterm infants-determining the how, when, and why.
Article in Pediatric research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
A recent survey study found that 400 IU/day vitamin D is the most common dose in United States neonatal intensive care units. Results of clinical trials are inconsistent, and, therefore, have not determined the optimal vitamin D dose for efficacy and safety in the neonatal intensive care unit. Future studies must consider the unique attributes of perinatal vitamin D metabolism and the potential role of vitamin D in immune function and organ development. IMPACT: Preterm infant vitamin D metabolism is a complex yet important area of research.
