Non-pregnant Women Have a Lower Vitamin D than Pregnant Women After Gastric Bypass.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo compare the nutritional status of vitamin D, calcium, and serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) between women undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) who became pregnant and women who did not become pregnant during the same postoperative period, as well as the impact of these changes on maternal and child health.
methodsThis is a longitudinal and retrospective study of women who previously underwent RYGB, paired by age and preoperative body mass index (BMI), divided into two groups: group 1 (G1), comprising 79 women who did not become pregnant, and group 2 (G2), comprising 40 pregnant women assessed in the overall trimesters. Both groups were analyzed before surgery (T0) and in the same interval after surgery: less than or equal to 1 year (T1) or greater than 1 year (T2), with a 2-year period at the most. Serum concentrations of vitamin D, calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and gestational and neonatal complications were investigated. Statistical analysis was performed by the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 21.0 (p < 0.05).
resultsDespite the additional nutritional demands at pregnancy, women evaluated after 1 year of RYGB had the highest demands of vitamin D when compared with pregnant women in the second trimester(p = 0.04). Women who became pregnant within 1 year of bariatric surgery were more likely to develop a urinary tract infection which, in turn, was associated with vitamin D inadequacy (p = 0.02).In the same period, the concentrations of calcium in the second and third trimesters showed a strong correlation with the number of pregnancies (R = 0.8, p = 0.008, R = 0.8, p = 0.003) and deliveries (R = 0.7, p = 0.013, R = 0.8, p = 0.006) and its nutritional status in the first trimester also showed a strong correlation with the occurrence of small newborns for gestational age/large for gestational age (SGA/LGA) (R = 0.8, p = 0.007).
conclusionSince the highest vitamin D depletions occurred in G1 when compared with G2, the study suggests that a period of time for supplementation and its adjustments in post-bariatric pregnancy may be beneficial. It also encourages further investigation on the number of pregnancies/deliveries during prenatal care, due to vitamin D influence on the nutritional status of calcium, and it points out that changes in concentrations of this vitamin in pregnant women may lead to SGA/LGA newborns' births.
