Association of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes Mellitus among Saudi pediatric patients; a hospital-based retrospective study.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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: The association between 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D] levels and glycemic control in pediatric patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between 25(OH)D levels and glycemic control in Saudi pediatric patients' with T1DM in a region that is sunny year-round. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted in the Pediatric Department of King Saud Hospital in Unaizah, Saudi Arabia. A total of 218 children with T1DM were enrolled in the study and grouped according to their glycated hemoglobin (HbA Results: Of the 218 children in this study, 182 (83.5%) had uncontrolled T1DM, while only 36 (16.5%) had controlled T1DM. The median (interquartile range) of 25(OH)D levels was significantly lower in the uncontrolled T1DM group compared with the controlled group [45.4 (31.2-59.7) nmol/L vs. 56.1 (37.5-77.6) nmol/L; Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency was highly prevalent in the studied group. Both vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency are associated with uncontrolled T1DM. Further study is needed.
