Association of vitamin D and functional dyspepsia: a case-control study.

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
Background: Vitamin D plays a key role in responses of brain-gut axis. It has been suggested that functional dyspepsia (FD) may be associated with decreased levels of vitamin D. Hence this study wished to find the association between vitamin D in patients with FD. Materials and methods: This case-control study was done at a tertiary care hospital with 150 cases and 150 controls. FD was diagnosed by the ROME IV criteria. Demographic profile and serum vitamin D levels including Perceived Stress Score (PSS) and salivary amylase were determined for both cases and controls. Results: Majority of the FD cases were males (57.3%). Post-prandial distress syndrome represented the major type of FD cases (69.3%). A higher mean BMI was found among the control group (23.2 vs. 21.2, Conclusion: This study shows significant association of vitamin D deficiency in FD patients. It also opens up new avenues for further research into the role of vitamin D supplementation to further improve the management of such cases.
