Reduced Vitamin D Receptor on Circulating Endothelial Progenitor Cells: A New Risk Factor of Coronary Artery Diseases.
Article in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
aimEndothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are shown to participate in the pathological processes of atherosclerosis. While Vitamin D and its receptor axis might exert some effects on EPCs' function. But their exact relationship with clinical patients is still elusive, which inspired us to explore the potential association of vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression on circulating EPCs and serum vitamin D levels among patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
methodsTwo hundred patients with CAD after their admission to hospital and one hundred healthy controls were enrolled. Medical history data were retrieved and fresh blood samples were collected for flow cytometry analysis. VDR expressions on EPCs were evaluated according to the standardized protocol. Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the potential risk factor of CAD.
resultsCAD patients were found to have lower log
conclusionA significant decrease of VDR expression on circulating EPCs was observed among CAD patients, particularly among those also with diabetes. VDR expression on EPCs was independently negatively correlated with HbA
