Association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among individuals with sarcopenia: evidence from the NHANES 2001-2006.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Sarcopenia, defined as the progressive decline in muscular mass and physical power, poses significant health risks, particularly among aging populations. Methods: Utilizing data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning 2001-2006, we employed multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to evaluate the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration and mortality outcomes, adjusting for multiple covariates. We additionally performed restricted cubic spline and threshold analyses using both linear and non-linear regression models to assess dose-response relationships and to explore the continuous effects of 25(OH)D on mortality outcomes. Stratified and sensitivity analyses were conducted to strengthen the reliability of our findings. Results: A total of 1,666 participants diagnosed with sarcopenia were included in the analysis. Our results indicated a significant non-linear association between 25(OH)D concentration and both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality. Notably, threshold analyses revealed inflection points at 62.563 nmol/L for all-cause mortality and 47.367 nmol/L for CVD mortality, suggesting a plateau in protective effects at higher vitamin D levels. Both stratified and sensitivity analyses revealed no significant interactions across different subgroups. Conclusion: These findings emphasize the importance of maintaining adequate serum 25(OH)D concentration to mitigate mortality risk among sarcopenic individuals. Further research is needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms and to establish optimal vitamin D concentration for health benefits.
