The Association of VDR FokI T>C (rs2228570) Gene Variants With T2DM, and Its Complications: Influence on BMI, Oxidative Stress, and Dyslipidemia.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. 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
introductionThe present study aimed to investigate the association between vitamin D receptor (VDR) FokI gene variants and the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications, as well as with oxidative stress parameters.
methodsWe investigated 300 individuals with diabetes with and without neuropathy and retinopathy, and 100 individuals without diabetes. The PCR-RFLP technique was used to determine the genotypes of VDR FokI T>C (rs2228570). The oxidative stress parameters were measured using chemical methods.
resultsIn individuals with diabetes, there were significantly higher levels of body mass index (BMI) and oxidative stress than in controls. The presence of the FokI CC genotype and the C allele were associated with 2.46 times and 1.6-fold increased risk of T2DM, respectively, and enhanced diabetic neuropathy risk by 3.41- and 3.68-fold, respectively, and elevated diabetic retinopathy risk by 2.45 and 1.59 times, respectively. The presence of FokI TC + CC compared to the TT genotype resulted in higher triglycerides, total oxidative status, and BMI levels in individuals with diabetes. We found significantly higher BMI, oxidative stress index, and significantly lower levels of total antioxidant capacity in females than in males among individuals with diabetes and controls.
conclusionThis study indicates that the FokI CC genotype and the FokI C allele are associated with an increased risk of T2DM and its complications. We observed the influence of VDR FokI variants on dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and BMI. It seems the risk factors of developing T2DM, obesity, and oxidative stress among women are more prevalent than in men.
