A decade-long assessment reveals persistent vitamin D deficiency and its associated factors in early-pregnant women from northern China (2016-2025).

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: Large-scale data on vitamin D status in early-pregnant women in high-risk Northern China are scarce. This study evaluated the decadal trends (2016-2025) and associated factors of serum 25(OH)D levels in this population in Shanxi Province. Methods: This retrospective cohort included 20,693 early-pregnant women (<14 weeks). Serum 25(OH)D was measured. Logistic regression assessed associations with of season, age, conception mode, and the COVID-19 period. Results: The median 25(OH)D was 36.12 nmol/L, indicating a concerning status. Season was the strongest associated factor. The pandemic period (2020-2022) saw a significant rise in severe deficiency (<30 nmol/L) to 35.6%. Advanced maternal age (≥35) and ART conception were linked to higher levels. Summer and autumn were protective factors for sufficiency, while natural conception was an associated factor for deficiency. Conclusion: Severe vitamin D deficiency is widespread. Findings advocate for routine perinatal vitamin D screening and supplementation, with tailored strategies for winter and specific subgroups.
