Visual analysis of the research trend and status on the association between vitamin D and immunity: From 2012 to 2021.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: We conducted this study to visualize hot spots and trends in the correlation between vitamin D and immunity over the past decade with bibliometric analysis. Methods: We collected relevant articles in the Web of Science Core Collection from 2012 to 2021 as the data source, and then used CiteSpace software to perform the data analysis. Some graphics were done with Graphpad software. Results: A total of 1,656 articles were retrieved, with an average citation count of 25.2 times. The United States (439 articles, 26.51%) has the top number of published articles, followed by China (164 articles, 9.90%), England (135 articles, 8.15%), Italy (114 articles, 6.88%), and India (82 articles, 4.95%). The most literature is found in areas of Immunology (337 articles, 20.35%) and Biochemistry Molecular Biology (179 articles, 10.81%). In terms of institutions, the top five institutions with the highest number of publications all belong to Europe. Among them, the League of European Research Universities (LERU) (121, 7.31%) has a greater proportion of output articles. The United States Department of Health Human Services (225, 13.59%) and National Institutes of Health United States (223, 13.47%) funded most articles. The leading five authors with the largest number of publications were Hewison M (19, 1.15%), Bergman P (14, 0.85%), Agerberth B (13, 0.76%), Carlberg C (12, 0.73%), and White JH (12, 0.73%). The top five keywords with the highest co-occurrence frequency are "vitamin d" (367), "d deficiency" (217), "expression" (195), "association" (151), and "d receptor" (132). Among the 17 keyword clusters, the largest cluster is #0 "diet." Despite cluster #13 "covid-19," most of the clusters were conducted the studies before 2012. Conclusion: The overall development of research in this field is promising. Western developed countries made outstanding contributions in this area and still take the leading role. But the participation of developing and low-income countries is also impressive. The potential therapeutic effects of vitamin D in immune-related diseases have been noted, especially in multiple sclerosis, COVID-19, etc. This is also the focus and frontier of current research. However, there is still no consensus conclusion in this field. Further research is needed in the future.
