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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesEvidence linking vitamins D and B

methodsWe conducted a PRISMA 2020 systematic review and exploratory meta-analysis of nutrient-specific status and supplementation evidence. PubMed/MEDLINE, APA PsycInfo, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, ClinicalTrials.gov, and ProQuest were searched for human studies published in 2016-2025, with a final update on 1 March 2026. Forty-six studies were included (24 randomized controlled trials, 22 observational studies;

resultsAcross the main evidence families, pooled estimates showed substantial heterogeneity and limited generalizability. Vitamin D supplementation showed an initial inverse estimate on the secondary harmonized OR scale (OR = 0.439, 95% CI 0.272-0.710) and a clinically interpretable SMD of -0.454 (95% CI -0.718 to -0.189), but heterogeneity was high (

conclusionsThe evidence supports targeted deficiency assessment, not routine supplementation.
