Bariatric Surgery Patients' Response to a Chronic Pain Rehabilitation Program.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChronic pain (CP) is a prevalent and disabling diagnosis in obese individuals, but how bariatric surgery patients respond to chronic pain rehabilitation treatment programs has not previously been described.
objectivesThe aim of this study was to compare treatment outcomes of a chronic pain rehabilitation program (psychological and pain variables, medication use, treatment completion rates) for post-bariatric surgery patients to those of a non-bariatric surgery control group.
settingThree week outpatient multidisciplinary chronic pain program in an academic medical center.
methodsThis was a retrospective case-control study. Medical records of patients admitted to the Pain Rehabilitation Center at Mayo Clinic from 2008 to 2012 were reviewed. One hundred six patients with a history of bariatric surgery (cases) were identified and matched to 106 patients without a history of bariatric surgery (controls) on age, gender, and smoking status (n = 202). Matched t tests and McNemar's tests were used for analyses.
resultsMean age was 46 years; 91% were female and 58% were non-smokers. The majority of cases (71%) had undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Bariatric patients had higher rates of benzodiazepine use at discharge (33 vs. 19%, p = 0.0433) and were less likely to complete treatment (87 vs. 97%, p = 0.007) compared to controls. Morphine equivalent use for cases was 127.3 mg ± 135.4 (n = 62) compared to 88.3 mg ± 95.3 (n = 62), p = 0.12, for controls at admission.
conclusionsThese results suggest that bariatric patients may be at risk for treatment non-adherence and have difficulty reducing medication use in the treatment of chronic pain.
