1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 common in acute coronary syndromes and has been implicated in inflammation, myocardial injury, and adverse ventricular remodeling. However, evidence linking serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels with early ventricular dysfunction in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains limited. This study evaluated the association between serum vitamin D status and left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction during the index hospitalization for STEMI. Methods This hospital-based analytical cross-sectional study included 150 consecutive adults with acute STEMI. Serum 25(OH)D was measured within 24 hours of admission, and patients were categorized as deficient (<20 ng/mL), insufficient (20-29 ng/mL), or normal (≥30 ng/mL). Transthoracic echocardiography was performed within 48-72 hours, and LV systolic dysfunction was defined as LV
