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
objectiveThis study aims to develop a model for predicting vitamin D deficiency in Chinese college students using easily accessible clinical characteristics.
methodsData were derived from a cross-section study of the Vitamin D status in Chinese college students in September, 2020. Totally 1,667 freshmen from 26 provinces, autonomous districts or municipalities were analyzed. A LASSO regression model was used to select predictors and the significant factors were used to construct the logistic regression model expression and the nomogram. The prediction model was subjected to100 bootstrap resamples for internal validation to assess its predictive accuracy. Calibration and discrimination were used to assess the performance of the model. A dynamic online nomogram was conducted to make the model easy to use. The clinical use was evaluated by a decision curve analysis.
resultsGender, region of original residence, milk and yogurt intake, puffed foods intake, outdoor activity duration, UV protection index and "taken calcium or vitamin D supplements within 3 months" were identified as significant predictors of vitamin D deficiency among Chinese college students. The model demonstrated good calibration with a 100 bootstraps analysis. The C-index was 0.677 and the bias-adjusted C-index was 0.668 in internal validation with 100 bootstrap resamples. The decision curve analysis showed a threshold probability between 0.5 and 0.8, using the model added more benefit than considering all patients are deficient or not deficient.
conclusionsThe performance of this vitamin D deficiency prediction model is commendable, and the dynamic online nomogram was proved to be a user-friendly screening tool for identifying high-risk subjects among Chinese college students. However, external validation is imperative to ensure the model's generalizability.
