1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) induces substantial metabolic, inflammatory, and nutritional changes that can alter hemostatic balance through redox-dependent mechanisms. This systematic review evaluated coagulation disturbances after MBS with emphasis on oxidative stress and micronutrient deficiencies. A structured search of PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (2000-2025) identified 1707 records; 21 studies met inclusion criteria. Available evidence suggests that although MBS reduces obesity-related inflammation and oxidative burden in many patients, a proportion of individuals may present with persistent redox imbalance, elevated D-dimer or vWF (von Willebrand Factor), and delayed normalization of fibrinolysis. Micronutrient deficiencies-particularly vitamins K, B12, folate, selenium, zinc, and copper-are common after malabsorptive procedures and contribute to both thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications by impairing antioxidant defenses, endothelial function, and vitamin K-dependent coagulation pathways. Postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) incidence ranges from 0.3 to 0.5%, with higher risk after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass than sleeve gastrectomy, while bleeding is primarily associated with vitamin K deficiency, marginal ulcers, and anticoagulant exposure. The findings underscore the interdependence of oxidative stress, nutritional status, and hemostasis after MBS. Individualized thromboprophylaxis, routine detection of micronutrient deficiencies, and long-term biochemical monitoring are essential to maintain hemostatic stability. Standardized redox-hemostasis biomarker panels are needed to clarify mechanistic pathways and improve postoperative preventive strategies.
