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 is an essential nutrient closely associated with the prevention of multiple diseases, including osteoporosis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders. The serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] is the primary biomarker for assessing vitamin D status, and its precise quantification is critical for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) are widely used analytical methods; however, methodological discrepancies often lead to inconsistent results that may be further influenced by demographic factors such as age and gender. In this study, we evaluated the consistency and correlation between CLIA and LC-MS/MS measurements using a Generative Fuzzy Inference System (GENFIS). Analysis of 138 serum samples showed that LC-MS/MS produced significantly higher 25(OH)D concentrations than CLIA (p < 0.01; mean difference = 1.33 ± 3.71; 95% CI: − 5.95 to 8.61), though the two methods exhibited strong linear correlation and agreement (Cohen’s Kappa = 0.8257; R² = 0.9075; intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.93). GENFIS analysis indicated a possible 30–40-year female pattern of larger between the detection differences of two methods. To verify this finding, an additional 59 samples were analyzed, revealing a relative risk (RR) of 3.18 (95% CI: 1.71–5.93; p < 0.05) for this subgroup compared with other populations, supporting the GENFIS inference. These results highlight age- and gender-related differences in 25(OH)D measurement between CLIA and LC-MS/MS, providing valuable insights for improving the standardization and clinical interpretation of vitamin D testing.
