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
Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a global public health concern, yet data from central China-particularly from Lu'an, a city located within the Dabie Mountain area-remain limited. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate vitamin D nutritional status in adults from Lu'an, China, based on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] measured by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), and to assess variations by sex, age, season, and the relative contributions of 25(OH)D Methods: Serum samples from 380 adults undergoing health examinations between October 2023 and May 2025 were analyzed. Nutritional status categories and subgroup differences were compared using nonparametric methods, with stratified comparisons by sex, age, season, and body mass index. Results: The median serum 25(OH)D level was 21.60 ng/ml, with 11.05% of subjects being vitamin D deficient and 31.05% insufficient. Women had significantly lower vitamin D levels than men ( Conclusions: Vitamin D insufficiency is common among adults in Lu'an, especially in women, younger individuals, during winter, and among overweight individuals. Given the predominance of vitamin D
