Impact of vitamin D deficiency on clinical outcomes in non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage: A single-center prospective cohort study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
There is growing evidence that neuroinflammation and systemic inflammatory response following SAH have a major effect on patients' outcomes. We hypothesized that due to the immunomodulating and neuroprotective properties, Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to unfavorable outcome in SAH patients. Consecutive patients admitted with acute non-traumatic SAH were prospectively included. Within 24 h of admission, serum 25(OH)vitamin D levels were measured. During the first 21 days after SAH, inflammatory markers were closely monitored, the development of any infectious complication was noted, and the onset of cerebral vasospasm was evaluated using transcranial color-coded Doppler. New ischemic lesions on follow-up computed tomography imaging were also documented. Patients' outcomes were assessed according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and the Barthel's Index on days 14, 30, and 90. Onehundred fifteen patients were included, of whom 61 were vitamin D deficient (VDD, serum vitamin D < 50 nmol/L) and 54 were vitamin D sufficient (VDS, serum vitamin D ≧ 50 nmol/L). The incidence of new ischemic lesions was significantly higher in the VDD group (VDD: 68.63% vs. VDS: 40.74%, p = 0.008). The VDD group also had higher peaks in inflammatory markers and a tendency of higher incidence of infections (VDD: 42.62% vs. VDS: 24.07%, p = 0.057). A poor outcome, as defined by the mRS, was significantly more frequent among VDD patients (on day 90: VDD, 61.02% vs. VDS, 35.19%, p = 0.011). Our findings raise the potential harmful effects of D hypovitaminosis among patients with SAH. Vitamin D deficiency may contribute to greater inflammatory response and increased risk of secondary ischemia, infections, and poor clinical outcomes. Further studies will show whether low vitamin D levels measured at admission are the consequence of SAH severity or whether pre-ictus hypovitaminosis also plays a role in determining the worse prognosis.
