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

Introduction: The association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and Material and methods: In this real-world observational study, a total of 1898 participants, including 103 patients with CDE and 1795 non-CDE controls, were selected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV (MIMIC-IV) database. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analyses were used to evaluate the association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and the risk of CDE. To assess the potential causal relationship between the two factors, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed. Results: After adjustments were made for multiple confounders, a high serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level (odds ratio [OR] = 0.9764; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.9585-0.9932; Conclusions: This study suggests that low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are associated with an increased risk of CDE, and this relationship is potentially causal.
