Vitamin D was added and the results were documented
Many were random controlled clinical trials in which not even the doctor knows who gets the vitamin D (or how much)
In two cases the group was large enough (an entire country) that they just documented the without/with = before/after.
Example: Turkey found a 60X decrease in rickets after providing FREE 400 IU of vitamin D for all infants
