1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: To assess Vitamin D status in children aged 0-6 years in Quanzhou, China, and compare the impact of diagnostic criteria on deficiency/sufficiency classification. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 1,183 healthy children aged 0-6 years (January 2022-March 2023). Serum 25(OH)D levels were measured via ELISA, and anthropometric data were collected. Participants were stratified by sex, season, age, WLZ, BMI, and Vitamin A status to analyze Vitamin D variations. Diagnostic criteria impacts on classification were evaluated. Results: Mean serum 25(OH)D was 73.02 nmol/L ( Conclusion: This study underscores two critical implications: (1) Vitamin D deficiency/sufficiency classifications are critically dependent on diagnostic criteria, necessitating region-specific guidelines and standardized threshold selection in practice and research. (2) Given the influence of latitude on Vitamin D synthesis, targeted interventions-particularly increased winter dosing for young children-should be tailored to age and seasonal variations.
