That's one of the weaker study outcomes I've seen. The Vitamin D arm just baaarely reached their definition of being significant. If the numbers had differed by only a single patient they would have had to call it "not significant"

Whenever studies test multiple things in parallel and single in on one of them as significant with a p-value of 0.05, it's not really a bulletproof conclusion.
