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
Glyphosate is an herbicide used to control plant growth and ripen specific crops. Glyphosate exposure has been associated with cancer, metabolic and neurological diseases, and reproductive issues in humans. A common element linking these disorders could be vitamin D deficiency. However, the relationship between glyphosate exposure and vitamin D status in the general population remains unclear. This analysis focused on the association between urinary glyphosate levels and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations in a large representative sample of U.S. adults. Data from 4284 participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2013-2018 were analyzed. Serum 25(OH)D levels were modeled using multivariable weighted linear regression, with adjustment for age, sex, race/ethnicity, body mass index, season, education, income, physical activity, smoking, and kidney function. Urinary glyphosate concentration was inversely associated with serum 25(OH)D in both the design-based univariate weighted analysis (β = -3.537,
