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: Association of serum vitamin D (vitD) with leptin (Lep) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is not precisely known in overweight hypertensive (OW-HT) postmenopausal (PMP) women. Hence, the present study was carried out to investigate the body mass index (BMI)-based correlation of serum vitD with Lep and TNF-α in OW-HT PMP women. Methods: Women subjects in their early PMP (n = 346, age: 51 - 60 years) categorized into three groups had main inclusion criteria of specified range of age, BMI and blood pressure (BP). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and other kit methods were employed to investigate the role of various variables in three subject groups (normal weight normotensive (NW-NT, n = 116, BMI (kg/m Results: A significant negative linear correlation of vitD with serum Lep and TNF-α, and a significant positive linear correlation of BMI with Lep and TNF-α in OW-HT PMP women were obtained. Significantly higher levels of serum Lep, TNF-α and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were found in OW-HT PMP women, as compared to NW-HT PMP women. Conclusions: The present study suggests that decreased serum vitD levels correlate with the Lep and TNF-α in OW-HT PMP women. However, further studies may help understand the impact of vitD in cardiovascular events and the influencing factors in OW-HT PMP women.
