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

backgroundVitamin D insufficiency is a prevalent issue in patients suffering from CKD. The purpose of this study was to determine whether serum 25(OH)D levels are associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with CKD.

methodsTo examine the associations between 25(OH)D levels and cardiovascular mortality, this retrospective cohort study used the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the National Death Index (NDI) 2007‒2018 database. A total of 2,668 eligible subjects were included in this study, with follow-up conducted until December 31, 2019. The associations were assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression, restricted cubic splines, Kaplan-Meier survival curves, and competing risks survival analysis. Furthermore, subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed.

resultsDuring a median follow-up of 72 months in a weighted population of 11,715,452 eligible participants, there were 665 deaths from any cause, including 196 cardiovascular-related deaths. After adjusting for covariates, lower levels of 25(OH)D were significantly associated with increased risks for both all-cause mortality (HR= 0.85, 95 % CI 0.77∼0.94) and cardiovascular mortality (SHR= 0.80, 95 % CI 0.67∼0.94). Consistent results were also observed when analyzing 25(OH)D as a categorical variable (quartile). Compared to group Q1, both group Q3 (HR = 0.71, 95 % CI 0.54‒0.93) and group Q4 (HR = 0.72, 95 % CI 0.55‒0.94) exhibited a significantly reduced mortality risk. Weighted restricted cubic splines revealed an inverse J-shaped linear association between levels of 25(OH) D and all-cause mortality ((PNonliner > 0.05). Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis yielded similar findings.

conclusionsAll-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease-related mortality were significantly increased by lower 25(OH)D levels, both as continuous and categorical variables. 25(OH)D has an inverse J-shaped linear association with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.
