Vitamin D and Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR).
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
During pregnancy, the fetus is entirely dependent on maternal sources of vitamin D, which also regulates placental function. Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy has been associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). This study aims to provide a narrative review of the potential influence of vitamin D deficiency on the pathogenesis of IUGR, and the potential benefits of vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy on fetal anthropometry. This review highlights the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among pregnant women and newborns worldwide, even in sunny countries. Most studies support that fetal vitamin D levels are directly related to maternal vitamin D levels. There is extensive literature confirming the relation between maternal vitamin D status and fetal growth patterns throughout pregnancy (both early and late). However, there is currently insufficient evidence to establish recommendations on optimal prenatal vitamin D supplementation in women to reduce the risk of IUGR.
