Prevalence and Associations of Preoperative Micronutrient Deficiencies in Bariatric Surgery Candidates with Severe Obesity.

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
Aim: To determine the prevalence of preoperative micronutrient deficiencies in bariatric surgery candidates with severe obesity and to examine associations with BMI, age, and sex. Methods: This single-center retrospective observational study included 411 adults (BMI ≥35 kg/m Results: The most frequent deficiencies were severe vitamin D deficiency (25[OH]D <10 ng/mL; 42.4%) and selenium deficiency (34.1%). Patients with BMI ≥50 kg/m Conclusion: Preoperative micronutrient deficiencies are common in bariatric surgery candidates, particularly severe vitamin D and selenium deficiency. These findings support guideline-based preoperative screening and targeted correction of deficiencies to optimize perioperative nutritional status.
