Nutritional Status of Obese Taiwanese Before Bariatric-Metabolic Surgery and Their Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations for Maximal Suppression of Parathyroid Hormone.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03915158 (Biochemical Evaluations of Nutritional Status of Patients Before and After Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.

Abstract
backgroundThis is the first report from Taiwan using laboratory tests to assess nutritional status of patients with obesity before bariatric-metabolic surgery. Moreover, the 25(OH)D threshold for maximal suppression of parathyroid hormone (PTH) was evaluated to offer a reference value for preoperative nutritional care.
methodsInclusion criteria were Taiwanese, 18-65 years old, and with BMI ≥ 27.5 kg/m
resultsFor 52 participants with a mean BMI 37.6 ± 6.4 kg/m
conclusionFor patients with obesity before bariatric-metabolic surgery, vitamin D/calcium deficiency was the only nutritional issue that needs to be addressed in Taiwan. However, a lower cutoff point of 25(OH)D, i.e., 10 ng/mL, for vitamin D deficiency may be considered for patients before surgery.
