Relationship between vitamin D and post-transplant diabetes mellitus in kidney transplant recipients.
Article in World journal of nephrology, 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
backgroundPost-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) adversely affects graft survival and is an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular events. Observational studies in the general population as well as the post-transplant setting suggest an association between the plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level and onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Literature is very limited in the context of PTDM.
aimTo study the relationship between vitamin D deficiency at the time of kidney transplant and PTDM in the post-transplant period.
methodsIn this single center study, 72 patients who underwent kidney transplant were included. Blood samples for serum vitamin D level were collected on the day of transplant and analyzed at the end of study. The LIAISON
resultsIn our study cohort 72 patients completed the study. Overall, 32 (43.8%) patients developed PTDM during the follow up of 1 year, 44 (61.1%) patients had deficient (< 20 ng/mL) 25(OH)D levels. Twenty-six (81.2%) patients with PTDM had deficient vitamin D levels as compared with 18 (45.0%) patients without PTDM (
conclusionDeficient vitamin D levels (< 20 ng/mL) were significantly associated with PTDM in the post kidney transplant setting. Further studies are needed to see the effect of vitamin D replacement on PTDM.
