1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Current approaches to vitamin D supplementation are generally limited to its oral intake. In this experimental study, the effects of applying vitamin D-fortified sunscreen creams to the skin on the absorption, and therefore levels of serum vitamin D metabolites were investigated. Forty 8-week-old male Wistar Albino rats were used in the study. Eight rats (Group B) were sacrificed to determine the baseline values of biochemical parameters. The remaining 32 rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups as follows: Group S, only the back skin of the rats were shaved; Group SD, only vitamin D
