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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate vitamin D levels in patients with varicose veins. Methods: Seventy-five patients (25 males, 50 females; mean age: 47.78±12.84 years; range, 24 to 80 years) with varicose veins in the lower extremities between December 2021 and August 2024 were included in the study. In addition to routine laboratory tests, vitamin D, vitamin B12, magnesium, and folate levels were measured in all patients. Since it reflects both endogenous vitamin D production and exogenous vitamin D intake, vitamin D status was assessed by measuring 25-hydroxycholecalciferol levels. Results: Thirty (40%) patients had thrombosis in their varicose veins. While the mean vitamin D level in patients without thrombosed varicose veins was 14.08±8.10 ng/mL, the mean vitamin D level in patients with thrombosed varicose veins was 12.19±6.92 ng/mL. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: Varicose veins that are thrombosed near the saphenofemoral or saphenopopliteal junctions may lead to complications such as spread to the deep venous system and subsequent embolization to the pulmonary vascular bed. Therefore, we believe that patients with thrombosed varicose veins should be surgically treated without delay. However, patients with nonthrombosed varicose veins may also be prone to thrombosis due to various known or unknown risk factors, such as stasis and vitamin D deficiency. Therefore, treatment of nonthrombosed varicose veins should also be planned.
