Vitamin D status and Its association with haematological inflammatory indices and cardiometabolic risk profiles: a retrospective cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine, 2026. 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
Background: Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of global mortality, with dyslipidaemia and impaired glycaemic control representing central modifiable risk factors. Haematological inflammatory indices and vitamin D status have each been independently associated with cardiovascular risk; however, their potential interaction remains underexplored. This study evaluated whether vitamin D status exhibited differential relationships with cardiometabolic risk markers. Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 1,100 adults attending King Faisal University polyclinics between January and March 2026. Participants were categorised as vitamin D sufficient (≥30 ng/mL, Conclusions: Vitamin D deficiency was associated with adverse inflammatory and cardiometabolic profiles, indicating that low vitamin D status coexisted with less favorable inflammatory and metabolic profiles. Although the NLR, PLR, and SII were consistent markers, their modest discriminatory performance limits standalone diagnostic use. These findings suggest that vitamin D status may be associated with differential relationships between haematological inflammatory indices and cardiometabolic risk markers.
