Patient Perspectives About Follow-Up Care and Weight Regain Following Sleeve Gastrectomy.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundWeight regain following sleeve gastrectomy is an increasingly recognised and important problem. Similar to other centres, we have noticed an association between the onset of weight regain and discharge from the bariatric service. We aimed to elucidate this further from the patient perspective.
methodsPatients at least 2 years from sleeve gastrectomy, who had experienced weight regain, were invited to participate in a focus group discussion. Participants were asked to complete a demographic survey and discussions were audio-recorded. Transcripts underwent content analysis using an inductive approach.
resultsThirty-eight participants participated in one of seven focus group discussions. The majority of participants were female, European and satisfied with the surgery and follow-up care. Participants described positive and negative aspects of the surgery, their follow-up care and causes of weight regain. Important emergent themes included the desire for more support, that is delivered within the overarching principles of providing individualised, specialised care by providers that maintain good rapport and assist in maintaining motivation. Furthermore, this follow-up support may be delivered in non-traditional ways rather than conventional face-to-face consultations.
conclusionExplorative focus group discussions in a group of patients who had regained weight following sleeve gastrectomy revealed a desire for more support after discharge from the bariatric service.
