The impact of psychological support on weight loss post weight loss surgery: a randomised control trial.
Trial report in Obesity surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01264120 (The Impact of a Bariatric Rehabilitation Service on Weight Loss and Psychological Adjustment.), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 6 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
backgroundThe purpose of the present study is to evaluate the impact of a health psychology-led bariatric rehabilitation service (BRS) on patient weight loss following bariatric surgery at 1 year.
methodsA single-site open-randomised parallel group control trial based at St. Richard's Hospital in Chichester in the UK. Patients (n = 162) were recruited immediately prior to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and randomly allocated to receive either treatment as usual (n = 80) or the BRS (n = 82). The BRS involved three 50-min one-to-one sessions with a health psychologist and provided information, support and mentoring pre and post surgery addressing psychological issues such as dietary control, self esteem, coping and emotional eating. Weight loss was assessed at 1 year. The key outcome variable was BMI and change in BMI.
resultsFollow-up weight was available for 145 patients. Intention-to-treat analysis (n = 162) using last measured weights showed that mean change in BMI by 1 year post surgery was -16.49. There was no significant difference between the two groups (control group = -16.37, 95 % CI = 15.15-17.57; intervention = -16.6, 95 % CI = 15.42-17.81; η p (2) = 0.001). Similarly, explanatory analysis (n = 145) showed a mean change in BMI of -17.17. The difference between the two groups was not significant (control group = -16.9, 95 % CI = 15.78-18.18; intervention = -17.35, 95 % CI = 18.5-16.16; η p (2) = 0.001).
conclusionsPsychological support pre and post bariatric surgery had no impact on weight loss as measured by BMI and change in BMI by 1 year. It is argued that psychological support should be targeted to patients who start to demonstrate weight regain at a later stage.
