25-Hydroxyvitamin D Is Associated with Islet Homeostasis in Type-2 Diabetic Patients with Abdominal Obesity.
Article in Current medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveIslet α cells input is essential for insulin secretion from β cells. The present study aims to investigate the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and islet function homeostasis in type-2 diabetes (T2D) patients.
methodsA total of 4670 T2D patients from seven communities in Shanghai, China were enrolled. The anthropometric indices, biochemical parameters, serum 25(OH)D, and islet function [including C-peptide (C-p) and glucagon] were measured.
resultsThe fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), glucagon, and C-p levels exhibited a significantly decreasing trend in T2D patients as the 25(OH)D levels increased. Next, the population was divided into two groups: abdominal obesity and non-abdominal obesity groups. After adjustment, the 25(OH)D level was found to be associated with HbA1c, glucagon, and homeostasis model assessment of β (HOMA-β) in the non-abdominal obesity group. There was a significant relationship between 25(OH)D and HbA1c, glucagon, HOMA-IR, baseline insulin or C-p in the abdominal obesity group. In the abdominal obesity group, the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression and quantile regression revealed that 25(OH) D was obviously associated with glucagon and fasting C-p levels. In the abdominal obesity group, the moderate analysis revealed a significant interaction effect of 25(OH)D and glucagon on C-p (P=0.0124). Furthermore, the conditional indirect effect of 25(OH)D on the glucagon/C-p ratio was significantly lower at 1 standard deviation (SD) below the mean (P=0.0002), and lower at the mean of the course of diabetes (P=0.0007).
conclusion25(OH)D was found to be negatively correlated to glucagon and C-p in T2D patients with abdominal obesity. The 25(OH)D influenced C-p in part by influencing glucagon. The effect of 25(OH)D on the glucagon/C-p ratio in T2D patients with abdominal obesity, in terms of islet homeostasis, is influenced by the course of diabetes.
