Does patient compliance with follow-up influence weight loss after gastric bypass surgery? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03394638 (Assessing the Value of eHealth for Bariatric Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 49 papers, 3 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.

Abstract
Gastric bypass surgery is an effective intervention to manage morbid obesity. However, there have been suggestions that patients who do not comply to follow-up lose less weight. This study evaluated the influence of patient's follow-up compliance on weight loss post gastric bypass surgery. From the search of MEDLINE and EMBASE, four studies (n = 365) were identified and majority of these studies concluded that compliance with follow-up leads to increased weight loss. Our meta-analysis of these studies found increase in the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) at 1-year post gastric bypass surgery (mean difference 6.38 % %EWL, 95 % CI 1.68-11.15) when patients were compliant with follow-up. Therefore, this review found that continued long-term follow up of gastric bypass patients has the potential to increase postoperative weight loss.
