Associations of bone health biomarkers and bone mineral density with dietary intakes in vitamin D deficient women: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Vitamin D, an essential nutrient for bone health, is widely deficient in India despite abundant sunlight. The prevalence ranges between 70 and 90% in adult women. We studied the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency and the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone, osteocalcin, bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, bone mineral density, and dietary intakes in young urban women. Among 220 women screened, 84.7% of participants had suboptimal vitamin D (64.5% deficient 20.2% insufficient). In 108 vitamin D deficient women, 75% reported below 15 min of daily sun exposure. Dietary calcium intake was 480.6 ± 117.7 mg/day. Serum 25(OH)D was negatively correlated with PTH (⍴ = - 0.364, p < 0.001) and osteocalcin (⍴ = - 0.342, p < 0.001). Osteocalcin was positively correlated with dietary calcium (⍴ = 0.228, p < 0.01), Ca: P (⍴ = 0.240, p < 0.01) and milk intake (⍴ = 0.226, p < 0.01). Positive associations were observed between osteocalcin and Ca: P ratio [β = 23.58, 95% CI: -0.614 to 47.771, p = 0.056] and with milk intake [β = 0.03, 95% CI: -0.001 to 0.065, p = 0.058]. The coexistence of vitamin D deficiency with inadequate calcium intake, and limited sun exposure, underscores the importance of strategies to promote calcium-rich diets and adequate sunlight practices to support bone health.
