Differential seasonal performance of C3-epi-D3 level and proportion on multiple metabolic disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimRecent Mendelian randomization and meta analysis suggest a controversial causality between C3-epimer of 25 hydroxyvitamin D3 (C3-epi-D3) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The clinical evidence regarding the impact of C3-epi-D3 on the progression of T2DM is currently insufficient. This study aims to investigate whether C3-epi-D3 has any effect on metabolic disorders of T2DM patients.
methodsA total of 1222 patients with T2DM were prospectively enrolled in this study and followed up every 1 to 2 months for 3 to 6 months. Kidney biomarkers, lipids, electrolytes, and 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) metabolites were measured as required during follow-up, to investigate the association of C3-epi-D3 levels and %C3-epi-D3 with metabolic disorders, including dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and calcium-phosphorus metabolic disorder.
resultsAmong these T2DM patients, there were age and seasonal differences in C3-epi-D3 levels (χ
conclusionOur study releases a seasonally differential impact of C3-epi-D3 levels and proportions on metabolic disorders of T2DM patients, considering to be potentially related to their pathogenesis of different metabolic disorders. The independent association between %C3-epi-D3 and CKD suggests a potential pathological relevance involving C3-epi-D3 itself.
