Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and snoring in adults in Northern sudan: a matched case-control study.

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
The association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and snoring is unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between serum 25(OH)D concentrations and snoring in adults in Sudan. A community-based matched case-control (for age and sex) study was conducted in the Wad Hamid district in northern Sudan. The cases (98) comprised adults who snored, and the controls (140) were non-snoring adults. A questionnaire was used to collect the sociodemographic data, and serum 25(OH)D was measured. Multivariate binary regression (conditional) analysis was performed. Compared with the controls, snoring adults had lower 25(OH)D levels (14.0 [10.4‒20.9] vs. 15.6 [11.8‒22.9], P = 0.016) ng/ml. More snoring adults had vitamin D deficiency compared to the controls (74.5% vs. 60.7%, P = 0.026). Serum 25(OH)D levels were inversely associated with snoring in adults (AOR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.93-0.99), vitamin D deficiency increased the odds of snoring (AOR = 1.89, 95% CI = 1.07-3.33). Age, sex, education, and body mass index were not associated with snoring. The study revealed a significant positive association between vitamin D deficiency and snoring in adults. This supports the literature, suggesting that adequate vitamin D is needed to prevent snoring and its complications.
