Modelling vitamin D food fortification among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia.
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 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
BACKGROUND/
objectiveLow vitamin D intake and prevalence of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration <50 nmol/L among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples highlight a need for public health strategies to improve vitamin D status. Since few foods contain naturally occurring vitamin D, food fortification could be a suitable strategy. We aimed to model vitamin D food fortification scenarios among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
methodsWe used nationally representative food consumption data (n = 4109, aged ≥2 years) and vitamin D food composition data to model four scenarios. Scenario 1 included the maximum vitamin D concentrations permitted for fortification in Australia: i) dairy products and alternatives, ii) butter/margarine/edible oil spreads, iii) formulated beverages, and iv) selected ready-to-eat breakfast cereals. Scenarios 2a-c included some vitamin D concentrations higher than permitted in Australia. Scenario 2a: i) dairy products and alternatives, ii) butter/margarine/edible oil spreads, iii) formulated beverages. Scenario 2b: as per Scenario 2a plus selected ready-to-eat breakfast cereals. Scenario 2c: as per Scenario 2b plus bread (not permitted for vitamin D fortification in Australia).
resultsVitamin D fortification could potentially increase median vitamin D intake by ~3-6 µg/day. Scenario 2c had the highest potential increase in median vitamin D intake at ~8 μg/day. Across all modelled scenarios, none of the participants had vitamin D intake above the Australian upper level of intake of 80 μg/day.
conclusionVitamin D fortification could increase vitamin D intake among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, even considering the restrictions on the foods permitted for fortification in Australia.
