1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Vitamin D research is an important area of biomedical research. This study is a bibliometric analysis that investigated trends in vitamin D research since 2019. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the SCOPUS database for data extraction. A total of 10,449 articles (2019-2024) were analyzed using the Biblioshiny package in RStudio. Articles were included if they contained "Vitamin D" in titles, abstracts, and keywords. The highest scientific production on vitamin D was observed in the USA (5,354), followed by China (4,842), which showed a steep increase in research output over time. Both had more single-country than multi-country publications, with international co-authorship at 21.02% of publications. Between the peak in 2021 (1,895 articles) and the low in 2024 (1,584 articles), vitamin D research output declined by 16.52%; citation rates also decreased. The
