The Relationship Between Preoperative Vitamin D Levels and Keloid Recurrence.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. 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
backgroundKeloids, characterized by excessive collagen deposition, often recur despite various treatments. This study explores the association between preoperative serum vitamin D levels and keloid recurrence in a Korean population.
methodsA retrospective cohort of 160 patients who underwent keloid excision was analyzed. Preoperative serum 25(OH) vitamin D and 1,25(OH)
resultsAge was significantly associated with keloid recurrence (OR: 0.934, p = 0.009), indicating older age was linked to lower recurrence risk. No significant association was found between preoperative 25(OH) vitamin D (p = 0.395) and 1,25(OH)
conclusionsPreoperative vitamin D levels do not predict keloid recurrence in this Korean cohort, while age is a significant predictor. Understanding the multifactorial nature of keloid pathogenesis requires further investigation into other potential risk factors.
