Perceived Postoperative Support Differentiates Responders from Non-Responders 3 Years After Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundBariatric surgery is an effective intervention for the majority of patients with morbid obesity, but a significant minority fails to achieve substantial weight loss. In the search of possible predictors of weight loss following bariatric surgery, preoperative factors turn out to have limited predictive power. This study will examine the impact of two postoperative factors on weight loss: perceived social support and stressful life events.
methodsFrom the entire 2013 cohort that underwent laparoscopic Roux-and-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) in a general hospital in the Netherlands, a group of 56 non-responders and a matched group of 56 responders were selected, using an alterable weight loss (%AWL)-based percentile chart. Patients from both groups were interviewed by phone to collect data on demographics, medical complications and comorbidities, social support and stressful life events. A total of 61 patients completed the data collection (54% response rate).
resultsOne-way ANOVA analysis showed that responders and non-responders differed with regard to perceived support (F(1) = 8.60, p = .005). In a model with place of birth, level of education and pre-surgery diabetes mellitus as covariates, perceived social support was able to classify 83.6% of patients correctly as either responder or non-responder (χ
conclusionsPerceived social support differentiates responders from non-responders after LRYGB. When patients present themselves after LRYGB with sub-optimal weight loss, social support should be a focus of attention.
