Nutritional Status in Chinese Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: A Retrospective 1-Year Follow-Up Study.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDespite the growing adoption of bariatric surgery (BS) in China, data on its nutritional impacts remain limited. This study aimed to investigate the nutritional status of Chinese patients at 1 year post-BS.
methodA retrospective analysis of 562 patients treated between January 2022 and January 2023 was conducted, with 231 patients completing 12-month follow-ups. Baseline and postoperative data on anthropometrics, metabolism and nutrition were gathered at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.
resultsPreoperative vitamin D deficiency was most prevalent (77.1%), followed by ferritin (9.5%), folate (3.0%), vitamin B12 (2.2%), anemia (2.2%) and albumin (0.4%). Compared to baseline, the serum levels of albumin, folate and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D] increased throughout the first postoperative year, while hemoglobin and ferritin declined at 12 months (P < 0.05). Anemia and ferritin deficiency rates increased to 11.7% and 33.8% at 12 months post-operation, respectively, while folate deficiency decreased to 0.4% (P < 0.05). Non-compliance with multivitamin supplementation demonstrated significantly higher prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (70.7% vs. 52.6%), iron deficiency (58.6% vs. 25.4%) and anemia (20.7% vs. 8.7%) compared to regularly supplemented counterparts (all P < 0.05). Multivariable linear regression revealed preoperative hemoglobin, ferritin and 25 (OH) D levels were independent predictors of 12-month postoperative changes in their corresponding nutrients.
conclusionDespite improved body composition and metabolism, postoperative nutritional deficiencies remain common. Routine preoperative nutritional assessment and long-term postoperative monitoring are essential for nutritional balance.
