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

purposeVitamin D deficiency is implicated in the development of prediabetes. However, it is unclear whether vitamin D deficiency showed any relationship with different phenotypes of prediabetes. This study was designed to address this issue.

methodsWe included participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2016. Prediabetes is classified into the following phenotypes: an isolated defect (that is, impaired fasting glucose [IFG], impaired glucose tolerance [IGT], or impaired hemoglobin A1c[IA1c]), two defects (that is, IFG+IGT, IFG+IA1c, or IGT+IA1c), or three defects (that is, IFG+IGT+IA1c). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to obtain the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

resultsA total of 4126 participants (2332 with prediabetes and 1794 with normal glycemia) were included in this study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that prediabetes was associated with an increased odds of vitamin D deficiency than normal glycemia (OR 1.216, 95% CI 1.023-1.444). Further analysis showed that prediabetes phenotypes of IGT+IFG (OR 1.549, 95% CI 1.050-2.283) and IFG+IGT + IA1c (OR 1.507, 95% CI 1.062-2.138) had an increased odds of vitamin D deficiency. The odds of vitamin D deficiency was higher in individuals with glucose-defined prediabetes, but not in those with HbA1c-defined prediabetes when compared with individuals with normal glycemia.

conclusionPrediabetes was associated with an increased odds of vitamin D deficiency, and glucose-defined prediabetes might be a better predictor of vitamin D deficiency.
