Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Objective: This study was carried out to assess the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in study group of children aged 0 to 12 years. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted to identify associations between serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD), calcium, phosphorus, and alkaline phosphatase levels by gender in the study population and to assess the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency in the study group of children aged 0 to 12 years visiting secondary care hospital in 1 year between February 2015 and March 2016 in King Khalid Hospital in Majmaah city. Serum 25-OHD, calcium, and phosphorus concentrations, serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were measured. Results: The median (range) concentrations of 25-OHD were 28.83 in males and 27.02 in females ( Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were highly prevalent among children aged 0 to 12 years. No significant gender-based differences were found in vitamin D or related biochemical markers. These results emphasize the importance of routine screening and preventive measures in pediatric care.
