The therapeutic potential of vitamin D supplementation in asthma.
Review in Pharmacological reports : PR, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Recent years have seen a search for more effective forms of asthma therapy, with one possible option being vitamin D supplementation. The main objective of this study was to present the current state of knowledge on the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the course of asthma in children and adults; it also reviews the existing literature on prenatal vitamin D supplementation and asthma status. The search comprised articles, mostly randomized controlled trials (RCTs), included in the PubMed database and published after 2018. Most RCTs conducted on children indicate that vitamin supplementation did not affect the course of the disease, its control, or exacerbations; however, several trials in adults confirm it to have beneficial effects, with an important role being played by vitamin D deficiency. Unfortunately, the studies demonstrated considerable heterogeneity concerning the age and number of participants, dose, duration, and use of guidelines for pharmaceutical drugs, making it difficult to draw clear conclusions. Further, properly designed, large-scale studies with long-term follow-ups are needed.
