Yes, this is mentioned in the limitations of that review:
"The dose of vitamin D used in included trials varied. Our study could not accurately compare equivalent daily vitamin D supplementation dose in the included trials because they all had different treatment regimens and dosing intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, or bolus doses). This might be one of the reasons why this study did not determine an effective daily dose of vitamin D supplementation. Furthermore, the vitamin D status before, during, and after treatment is useful to determine the effectiveness of vitamin D supplementation in improving the actual vitamin D status. Long term vitamin D status is expected to be a much more accurate, reliable, and important clinical parameter compared with a daily dose of vitamin D supplementation. However, previous trials were limited in providing such data. These limitations and uncertainties associated with vitamin D supplementation dose and vitamin D status in treatment and control groups warrant further investigation."
