Association between vitamin levels and geriatric hip fractures: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: Geriatric hip fractures, known as osteoporotic fractures, are associated with nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin D (VitD). However, the relationship between other vitamins besides VitD and fracture is still lacking. Therefore, we intended to identify various vitamin levels and deficiencies in elderly patients with hip fractures and compared those with healthy elderly individuals. Methods: A total of 210 geriatric hip fracture continuous patients and 402 healthy elderly individuals aged ≥65 years old and with complete serum vitamin records were enrolled in this study. The levels of serum VitA, VitB1, VitB2, VitB3, VitB5, VitB6, VitB9, VitE, VitK1, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-HO-VitD) and nutritional markers, such as prognostic nutritional index (PNI), were compared between geriatric hip fracture patients and healthy control. The correlation between vitamin level and the nutritional markers was explored. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the association between vitamin levels and hip fracture. Results: The levels of VitA, VitB1, VitB3, VitB5, VitB9, 25-HO-VitD, 25-HO-VitD3, E, and K1 were all lower in the hip fracture group ( Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency is common in elderly people with or without fracture. The levels of VitA, VitB9, and VitK1, instead of VitD, were much lower in fracture patients than in the healthy control, even controlling age and gender. VitA is a potential target for hip fracture prevention.
