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

backgroundAn optimal 25OHD level can prevent osteopenia of prematurity (bone health) and premature delivery (non-skeletal activity). Although maternal and fetal vitamin D (25OHD) levels correlate, data on preterm infants' 25OHD status at birth are limited, with a well-recognized deficiency among term infants.

objectivesTo evaluate maternal and neonatal 25OHD status at preterm birth and its determinants in a northern-latitude country, Poland. DESIGN/

methodsCross-sectional study between August 2015 and September 2016 investigating cord and maternal blood 25OHD levels at delivery in 69 pairs of mothers and newborns ≤ 32 6/7 weeks of gestation, and analyzing correlations between maternal and neonatal 25OHD levels and their influencing factors, with univariable and multivariable linear regression.

resultsMedian (IQR) 25OHD levels were 25 (16.6-34 ng/mL) in cord blood and 21.2 (15-29 ng/mL) in mothers and correlated positively (r = 0.69,

conclusionsVitamin D insufficiency is common in mothers and their prematurely born infants at birth; vitamin D supplementation reverses the trend. To avoid inadequate supplementation in preterm newborns and in mothers at risk of preterm delivery, regular assessment of 25OHD levels should be considered.
