Status of Common Water-Soluble Vitamins in Medical Students: A Cross-Sectional Analysis with Implications for Targeted Nutritional Screening Programs.
Article in Nutrients, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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/
objectivesWater-soluble vitamins are essential micronutrients requiring regular dietary replenishment due to minimal body storage capacity. Medical students.; despite their health knowledge, may be at risk for subclinical deficiencies due to academic stress and life-style factors. This study assessed water-soluble vitamin status to evaluate screening needs in this educated population.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 91 healthy medical students (age 18-23 years) at UAE University from September 2023 to January 2024. Serum levels of folate (B9), cobalamin (B12), and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) were measured using validated high-performance chemiluminescent immunoassays. Demographic, anthropometric, dietary, and lifestyle data were collected via structured questionnaires. Statistical analyses included multivariate logistic regres-sion, correlation analyses, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
resultsAmong the participants (70.3% female; mean age 19.8 ± 1.4 years; BMI 23.2 ± 2.9 kg/m
conclusionsThese findings support implementing targeted screening programs focusing on high-risk groups, including students with poor dietary habits, high stress levels, or specific gender-based risks.
