Across 3 studies, findings are mixed: 1 large beneficial effect (lower zinc levels in vitiligo patients vs. controls, MD -0.642, p <0.001), 1 neutral finding with no significant difference in zinc deficiencies across bariatric surgery revision types, and 1 large harmful effect (lower zinc levels in mild cognitive impairment patients, SMD -0.77, p <0.05). The evidence is too sparse and heterogeneous to identify a consistent direction of effect, and no dose range or population can be generalized.
