[Hypovitaminosis D and biochemical parameters of bone metabolism in children with leukemia].
Observational study in Revista medica del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: 25(OH)D is key for maintaining bone health. Treatment of pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has a negative effect on bone metabolism. Objective: To describe the frequency of hypovitaminosis D, changes in serum 25(OH)D concentrations, and the biochemical and hormonal markers of bone metabolism between diagnosis and referral in children with ALL. Material and methods: Prospective, longitudinal, cohort study in pediatric patients (4-17 years) with newly diagnosed B-cell ALL, and without treatment. Patients were summoned under fasting conditions, and a peripheral blood sample was taken to determine 25(OH)D, parathyroid hormone (PTH), phosphorus, and ionic calcium concentrations. Results: Of the 40 patients recruited, 7 were lost to follow-up, so only 33 were analyzed. 91% of the children had hypovitaminosis D. We observed a significant increase in ionic calcium concentrations from baseline levels (1.1 mmol/L vs. 1.2 mmol/L, p = 0.002). Analysis of the Δ of serum PTH and 25(OH)D concentrations showed an inverse relationship (rho = -0.397, p = 0.024). Conclusions: These findings confirm a high frequency of hypovitaminosis D. Low 25(OH)D levels may compromise calcium absorption and generate a compensatory increase in PTH.
