Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and vaginal delivery in pregnant women: an observational case-control study from Türkiye.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between maternal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and the likelihood of vaginal delivery. Materials and methods: This observational case-control study was conducted with a total of 298 women, comprising a case group of those who were unable to deliver vaginally and underwent emergency cesarean section ( Results: According to the findings of our study, higher serum 25(OH)D levels were significantly associated with a reduced risk of cesarean delivery ( Conclusion: Higher serum vitamin D levels were associated with an increased likelihood of vaginal delivery. In this context, optimizing vitamin D status through sunlight exposure, nutrition, or supplementation may represent an important step in protecting maternal and neonatal health.
