Low Educational Status and Childhood Obesity Associated with Insufficient Mid-Term Weight Loss After Sleeve Gastrectomy: a Retrospective Observational Cohort Study.
Observational study in Obesity surgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
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
purposeSuccessful weight loss after bariatric surgery has been associated with a variety of factors. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of educational status on surgical weight loss for patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy (SG). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective cohort study was carried out on patients undergoing SG between September 2013 and July 2015. Six months after surgery, the patients were classified into two groups according to their success in the percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL). Group 1: <%50EWL (insufficient WL) and group 2: ≥%50EWL (successful WL) in the sixth month. The independent predictors for insufficient weight loss six months after SG were analyzed.
resultsIn the sixth post-operative month, their mean %EWL and percentage of excess body mass index loss (%EBMIL) were 50 ± 15.4 and 58.2 ± 19.3, respectively. In univariate analysis, group 1 patients were found to be significantly older when compared to group 2 patients while the education level of group 2 patients was significantly higher when compared to group 1. A tertiary educational level at a university or higher was associated with a nearly fourfold increased success in weight loss (AOR 3.772, p = 0.03) 6 months after SG. Multivariate analysis showed that patients with a history of childhood obesity were more likely to have insufficient weight loss (AOR 0.390, p = 0.045).
conclusionChildhood obesity and a lower level of education are associated with insufficient weight loss 6 months after SG. However, prospective external validation is warranted, with a long-term follow-up of a large bariatric surgery population.
