Vitamin D deficiency and VDR
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2025. 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: Many studies have shown that vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor TaqI gene polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to diabetic nephropathy in various populations. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor Methods: A total of 210 participants, including 70 diabetic patients with nephropathy, 70 diabetic patients without nephropathy, and 70 healthy controls, participated in an age-and sex-matched hospital-based case-control study. Demographic and clinical data were assessed to determine the related risk factors. DNA was extracted from blood samples and subjected to polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis analysis to determine the Results: Vitamin D deficiency was detected in our investigation, and it was much more prevalent in diabetic nephropathy patients than type 2 diabetic patients and controls (OR = 5.05, 95% CL = 2.03-12.53; Conclusions: The findings point to a potential link between vitamin D deficiency and diabetic nephropathy complications.
