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
Background and Aim: Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, has various vital roles in physiological processes. Recent evidence suggests that optimal vitamin D levels may be associated with improved immune function and reduced systemic inflammation. The present study aims to evaluate associations between serum vitamin D levels and various hematological inflammatory indices in participants of the MASHAD cohort study, Mashhad, Iran. Methods: This study was designed as a cross-sectional analysis conducted within the framework of phase I of the MASHAD cohort study. Participants (aged ≥ 18 years old and signed an informed consent) were recruited from a defined population, ensuring the representativeness of the sample for evaluation of potential association between serum vitamin D levels and hematological inflammatory indices including Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW-CV), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), and Platelet Distribution Width (PDW). Results: A total of 458 participants were included in the current study, comprising 229 males and 229 females. Serum vitamin D had weak correlation with hs-CRP ( Conclusion: The current findings revealed a weak association between serum vitamin D concentrations and inflammatory indicators. Among hematological parameters, gender-based differences were observed, with PDW and RDW levels significantly varying between vitamin D quartiles in women.
