Impact of vitamin D on gene expression in Atlantic salmon skin.
Article in PloS one, 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
Vitamin D is a crucial micronutrient for vertebrate health that affects musculoskeletal function and likely modulates immune responses in tissues such as the skin. Infectious diseases are a critical concern in Atlantic salmon aquaculture due to the potential economic impact of stock losses, risks to fish welfare, and environmental sustainability. Since the skin is the first line of immunological defence, its ability to mediate host-pathogen interactions may be influenced by dietary vitamin D. This study examined the transcriptomic response of salmon skin after six months of dietary vitamin D supplementation, with an emphasis on immune-related gene expression. A total of 151 differentially expressed genes were identified, 27 of which are linked to inflammation, antigen presentation, and both innate and adaptive immunity. These results indicate that vitamin D could modulate cutaneous immune responses by reducing inflammation and enhancing innate defences, potentially improving resistance to many skin-associated salmon pathogens.
