Collateral weight loss in children living with adult bariatric surgery patients: a case control study.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03092479 (A Randomized Trial of a Pilot Behavioral Support Intervention After Bariatric Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.

Abstract
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of adult bariatric surgery on the body mass index (BMI) of children living in the same household.
methodsA retrospective case-control study. Case dyads (n = 128) were composed of one adult who had bariatric surgery and one child at the same address. Control dyads (n = 384) were composed of an adult with obesity but no bariatric surgery and a child at the same address. Two-sample t-test was used to determine whether the differences between actual and expected BMI at follow-up (post-surgery) differed between children in the case and control dyads.
resultsAmong boys who were overweight, boys who lived with a surgery patient had a lower than expected BMI post-surgery, while boys who did not live with a surgery patient had a higher than expected BMI at follow-up (P = 0.045). Differences between actual and expected BMIs of children were not significantly different between cases and controls in girls or in children in other weight classes.
conclusionsOverweight boys who lived with an adult bariatric surgery patient had a lower than expected BMI after surgery as compared to controls. Future studies may be warranted to determine the mechanisms by which these children experience collateral weight loss.
