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

purposeHypovitaminosis D has been associated with many cardio-metabolic disorders, although their pathogenetic link still remains unclear. Our aim was to evaluate whether 1-year vitamin D (D) supplementation could improve glycemic control, lipid profile, systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure levels and body composition.

methodsIn an open-label randomized-controlled pilot study, thirty poor-controlled (HbA1c > 59 mmol/mol) type 2 diabetic patients (age 71.5 ± 3.2 years, M/F 21/9, BMI 29.8 ± 3.6 kg/m

resultsOne-year D supplementation restored D status and had a beneficial effect on fasting glucose (FG, mean percentage changes ± SD, - 1.8% ± 23.1 vs. + 18.8% ± 30.0), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c, - 13.7% ± 14.5 vs. - 4.2% ± 14.1), SBP (- 13.4% ± 8.5 vs. - 2.4% ± 12.6) and HDL-cholesterol levels (- 2.1% ± 14.0 vs. - 10.9% ± 12.9; p < 0.05 for all comparisons) in + D vs. - D patients, respectively. In the former, a reduction in HBA1c, SBP and DBP levels, BMI, fat mass index (FMI) and ratio (FMR) was observed after 1 year (p < 0.05 for all comparisons vs. baseline). We noticed a relationship between 1-year mean percentage changes of serum 25OHD and SBP levels (R = - 0.36, p < 0.05).

conclusionOne-year cholecalciferol supplementation, able to restore D status, significantly improves FG, HbA1c, SBP and HDL-cholesterol levels in patients with poor-controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and D deficiency.
