Plasma 25(OH)D Level is Associated with the Nucleic Acid Negative Conversion Time of COVID-19 Patients: An Exploratory Study.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: Vitamin D, an essential nutrient and a pleiotropic steroid hormone, has been reported to be associated with the risk and severity in patients infected with Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). The role of vitamin D in predicting clinical outcome for COVID-19 patients is unknown. Here, we aimed to determine the prognostic value of plasma 25(OH)D level in COVID-19 patients. Patients and Methods: A total of 158 patients infected with novel COVID-19 Omicron variants in Shanghai were recruited in this study and were categorized into three groups by the tertile levels of plasma 25(OH)D. Plasma 25(OH)D level was determined along with routine blood tests related to liver and renal functions in newly diagnosed COVID-19 patients at admission. The nucleic acid negative conversion time of throat swab samples was evaluated as the primary clinical outcome. The prognostic value of clinical characteristics and plasma 25(OH)D level was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier plot and Cox proportional hazards regression tests. Results: Higher level of plasma 25(OH)D level in COVID-19 patients was independently associated with shorter nucleic acid negative conversion time from COVID-19 infection (multivariate adjusted HR: 0.54, 95%CI: 0.35-0.82, Conclusion: Plasma 25(OH)D level may serve as an independent prognostic factor in COVID-19 patient. Our findings indicate the protective roles of vitamin D supplementation in the regiment of patients with COVID-19.
