Effect of Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy on Calcium Metabolism Parameters, Vitamin D, and Parathyroid Hormone in Morbidly Obese Patients: Short-Term Results.

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
objectiveSleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a widely utilized bariatric surgical procedure. It may affect various aspects of nutritional and metabolic health, including calcium (Ca) metabolism, vitamin D levels, and parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion. We aimed to investigate the effect of laparoscopic SG (LSG) on Ca metabolism parameters, vitamin D, and PTH in morbidly obese patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis single-center, retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Department of General Surgery, Avrupa Safak Hospital, Istanbul, between March 2021 and November 2023. A total of 78 patients were included in the study. The procedure involved the resection of approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a tubular gastric sleeve. All patients underwent postoperative follow-up at six and 12 months.
resultsOf the 78 patients, 49 (62.8%) were females and 29 (37.1%) were males. The mean age of the patients was 31.2±9.8 years. The mean weight was 126±12.2 kg and the mean BMI was 47±6.9 kg/m2. There was a significant decrease in the BMI values following surgery (
conclusionOur study results suggest that low vitamin D levels are commonly observed in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Administering vitamin D as a standard postoperative treatment regimen may be helpful in reducing this deficiency. We, therefore, recommend continuous monitoring of vitamin D, PTH, and serum Ca levels after surgery to manage these issues effectively.
