Only five randomised controlled trials were selected from the remaining studies to be used in this analysis.<\/p>\n<p>The detailed meta-analysis of each trial was followed by a trial sequence analysis (TSA), using a computer program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA meta-analysis per se does not allow us to state whether the results are truly positive or false-positive. In addition, the inclusion of studies with large effect sizes and significant heterogeneity separates us from the truth,\u201d These were the explanations of scientists. \u201cFor this reason, a TSA is mandatory to verify the reliability of meta-analysis results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The six possible biases in each study were also assessed by the team. These included bias in measuring the outcome, bias selection, and bias due missing outcome data.

They received 21,620 IU on Day 1 and 10,810 on Days 3, 7, 15, and 30, respectively. As a result, 21 (4.7 percent) out of 447 patients treated with vitamin D at admission died, compared to 62 deaths (15.9 percent) out of 391 patients who didn\u2019t receive vitamin D.<\/p>\n<p>The National Institutes of Health, (NIH). <a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/VitaminD-Consumer\/#h9\">advises against<\/a> Americans consume more than 4,000 IUs of vitamin D daily unless their doctors have instructed them otherwise. \u201cgetting too much vitamin D can be harmful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The NIH states on its website, \u201cVery high levels of vitamin D in your blood can cause nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness, confusion, pain, loss of appetite, dehydration, excessive urination and thirst, and kidney stones.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExtremely high levels of vitamin D can cause kidney failure, irregular heartbeat, and even death.
