Dietary vitamin D intake and serum 25(OH)D concentrations in Minangkabau pregnant women: results from the vitamin D pregnant mothers (VDPM) cohort study in Indonesia.

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
backgroundVitamin D deficiency is prevalent in Indonesia. While dietary vitamin D intake is a potential contributor to 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration, there is limited research on its role in populations with dietary habits rich in fat and spices, such as in the Minangkabau ethnic group. This study investigates the relationship between maternal dietary vitamin D intake and serum 25(OH)D concentrations in Minangkabau pregnant women.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 182 pregnant women in their third trimester. Dietary vitamin D intake was assessed using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ), and serum 25(OH)D concentrations were measured by ELISA. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were performed to evaluate associations, adjusting for potential confounders.
resultsThe mean dietary vitamin D intake was 9.2 ± 6.8 µg/day, and the mean serum 25(OH)D concentration was 21.0 ± 10.1 ng/mL. Despite higher consumption of vitamin D-rich foods (fish, eggs, and dairy), most participants (88%) had inadequate intake, and 73% had deficient or insufficient vitamin D status. A weak positive correlation between dietary intake and serum 25(OH)D was observed (r = 0.09), but this was not statistically significant (p = 0.25).
conclusionsWhile higher consumption of vitamin D-rich foods was associated with greater dietary intake, this did not translate into significantly higher serum 25(OH)D concentration. These findings suggest that dietary intake alone had a limited impact on serum 25(OH)D concentration, with other factors likely playing a more significant role.
