Assessment of Preoperative Multivitamin Use on the Impact on Micronutrient Deficiencies in Patients with Obesity Prior to Metabolic Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 5 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMost patients achieve successful weight loss following metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS), but they face an increased risk of micronutrient deficiencies due to altered gastrointestinal physiology and dietary restrictions. This study evaluated the impact of a specialized multivitamin on blood serum levels before MBS.
methodsA prospective, within-patient comparison trial was conducted between January and July 2023 at a large bariatric clinic. Differences in serum micronutrient levels between baseline and the 3-month follow-up were assessed, along with changes in the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies.
resultsOf 120 patients recruited, 99 (82.5%) completed the 3-month follow-up. Significant changes were observed in 13 of 21 serum parameters (61.9%). Ten parameters, including iron, vitamin K
conclusionsMicronutrient deficiencies are prevalent in patients with obesity. Preoperative specialized multivitamin supplementation effectively reduces key deficiencies, particularly in iron, folic acid, and vitamin D. Future research should address residual deficiencies and evaluate long-term outcomes of prolonged supplementation.
