Sunshine and Synapses: Exploring the Vitamin D-Cognition Nexus among Young Tribal Adults of Meghalaya.

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: The relationship between Vitamin D (VitD) levels and cognitive function in young adults remains unclear, with conflicting results in existing literature. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of VitD deficiency and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to explore the correlation between serum VitD levels and cognitive functions in young indigenous adults in Meghalaya. Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care centre in Shillong, Meghalaya, involving 137 healthy young individuals associated with the centre. Serum VitD levels were measured and categorised according to the classifications of the Food and Nutrition Board, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and the Endocrine Society. Cognitive functions were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale. Results: Based on the Endocrine Society Classification, 85.4% (95% CI: 78.5%-90.3%) of participants were found to be VitD-deficient, and 51.1% (95% CI: 42.4%-59.7%) had MCI. A statistically significant positive correlation was observed between serum VitD levels and cognitive functions (r = 0.096; Conclusion: The study revealed a high prevalence of VitD deficiency and MCI in the young indigenous population with an identified positive association between the two conditions. However, the findings highlight the need for large-scale, multi-centric, longitudinal studies with follow-up assessments to further understand these relationships.
