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
Introduction: The growing interest in vitamin D deficiency as a potential contributor to coronary artery disease (CAD) has prompted increased scrutiny. Nevertheless, its status as a confirmed risk factor remains unestablished. This study seeks to explore the connection between serum vitamin D levels and CAD. Material and methods: Employing a cross-sectional approach, 205 patients eligible for coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were chosen. Serum vitamin D levels were assessed and juxtaposed with the outcomes of CCTA, which encompassed the coronary artery calcium score (CACS), as well as the presence and severity of coronary artery involvement attributed to atherosclerotic plaques. Results: The average age of the participants was 61.4 ±10.8 years, and the mean serum vitamin D level was 19.6 ±10.3 ng/dl (ranging from 4.7 to 39.7 ng/dl). In total, 52.1% of the participants ( Conclusions: There was a correlation between vitamin D deficiency and both CACS and the severity of coronary artery stenosis.
