The Impact of Family Relationship on Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) Concentrations in Individuals Residing in Pune, India.

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
introductionAn understanding of the influence of family relationship on vitamin D concentrations could be useful in designing community-based strategies to improve vitamin D status. Hence, the aim of this study was to explore if family relationship had an impact on total serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentrations of individuals living in Pune, India.
methodsThis cross-sectional study included 104 families. Data collected included anthropometry (height and weight), body composition (bioelectric impedance), sunlight exposure (validated questionnaire), and blood samples for estimation of serum 25OHD
resultsMore than half (63%) of the participants of the participants (235 adults, 118 children) had poor daily sunlight exposure (< 30 minutes). Around one-third, both adults and children, were found to be vitamin D deficient. Intra-family correlation was found to be higher in children than in adults for serum 25OHD
conclusionsOur findings indicate that the likelihood of having similar vitamin D concentrations is higher among children as compared to adults in a family. This suggests a role played by genetic factors or possibly shared habits among children in a family, thus resulting in stronger correlations. This can facilitate the adoption of early preventive measures for treatment or prevention of vitamin D deficiency, even if one child among siblings is vitamin D insufficient.
