Factors related to weight loss up to 4 years after bariatric surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 38 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundGastric bypass is the bariatric surgery most frequently performed in the world. It is responsible for sustainable weight loss, resolution of comorbidities, and improvement of quality of life. However, weight loss is not homogeneous, at times being insufficient in some patients. Our objective was to assess which factors were important in influencing this differentiated weight loss over a period of 4 years after surgery.
methodsIn this retrospective study, we assessed several physical, socioeconomic, behavioral, surgical, and demographic factors in morbidly obese patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass that might influence excess weight loss over a period of 4 years after surgery. The same factors were assessed in order to characterize insufficient excess weight loss (<50% EWL).
resultsReview of the medical records of 149 patients showed that type-2 diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia were the most important factors related to a lower EWL up to the third year. Preoperative weight loss, lower schooling, and lack of adherence to nutritional guidelines were important after 2 and 3 years. The presence of depression and lack of adherence to nutritional guidelines were the factors related to EWL of less than 50%.
conclusionsSpecial attention and clarification should be provided to patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and dyslipidemia and to patients with depression and lower schooling, since these patients tend to lose less excess weight after surgery. Multiprofessional care should also be provided so that the patients will follow nutritional guidelines more rigorously after surgery.
