The relationship between hand injuries due to occupational accidents and Vitamin D deficiency.

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: Bone fractures due to occupational accidents cause labor and cost losses in the world. Vitamin D deficiency is common in the world including industrialized countries. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fracture and vitamin D levels in patients with wrist fractures due to occupational accidents. Methods: This study was conducted in a study group consisting of patients who were admitted to the emergency department of a university hospital due to occupational accidents and were thought to have a fracture of the hand or wrist. Blood samples were analyzed biochemically and vitamin D levels were obtained. Results: Vitamin D3 level was 16.3 ng/mL in patients with fractures and 21 ng/mL in patients without fractures, which was statistically significant (p<0.05). Vitamin D deficiency was found in %60.2 of patients with fractures, while vitamin D deficiency was found in %50.2 of patients with fractures and there was no statistical difference (p>0.112). Vitamin D deficiency was found in %39.8 of patients with hand injury without fracture, whereas vitamin D deficiency was not detected in %33 of patients with hand injury and the comparison was statistically significant (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is insufficient data in the literature on the relationship between bone fractures and vitamin D levels and the vitamin D levels required to prevent bone fractures. In this study, a statistically significant difference was found between the vitamin D levels of patients with fractures and those of patients without fractures. This study is beneficial for the literature in this respect, but extensive studies on the relationship between vitamin D and fractures are needed.
