Morbid obesity after spinal cord injury: an ailment not to be treated?
Article in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
A 28-year-old man with a T12 incomplete paraplegia after a spinal cord injury (SCI) was referred for weight management in October 2011. He reported a weight gain from about 120 to 180.3 kg since his SCI. He put on a further 11.4 kg in January 2012 despite intensive dietetic treatment, including very low-caloric diet, anti obesity medication and active physiotherapy programme. He had undergone an uncomplicated laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass successfully in March 2012. For the first 7 months after surgery, his total weight loss was 32.4 kg. He has shown functional improvement (6 min walking distance and Berg balance score). There were important improvements in body mass index; waist circumference; mid-upper arm circumference; triceps-skinfold thickness; mid-arm muscle circumference; total cholesterol; high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol and triglycerides. This report describes the first UK morbidly obese SCI patient who has undergone gastric bypass surgery and highlights the provision of bariatric surgery as an option to consider if all nonsurgical interventions have been tried.
