Effectiveness of a Functional Rehabilitation Program After Bariatric Surgery: a Pilot Study.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03905070 (Investigation of Body Awareness and Affecting Factors in Bariatric Surgery Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 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

Abstract
backgroundBeyond obesity-related comorbidities, overweight patients have a high risk of developing osteoarticular pathologies. Moreover, weight loss following bariatric surgery induces a decrease in fat mass but also in muscle mass, thus affecting the physical capacities of these patients. Functional rehabilitation is a solution to correct these imbalances. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a functional rehabilitation program after bariatric surgery.
methodsTwenty-three patients with severe obesity (BMI = 37.9 ± 5.7 kg/m
resultsAll impedance parameters were significantly improved in 20 sessions: % excess weight loss (%EWL) from 27.6 ± 9.1 to 51.1 ± 13.4% and % fat-free mass from 52.7 ± 5.6 to 57.6 ± 6.7%. Waist and hip circumferences were significantly reduced in 20 sessions: from 107.4 ± 13.7 to 94.5 ± 12.6 cm and from 120.5 ± 12.4 to 108.7 ± 11.7 cm, respectively (p < 0.001). Physical function tests were significantly improved between the 1st and the 20th sessions (p < 0.001). The cycloergometer stress test progressed from 77.7 ± 24.1 to 93.6 ± 27.2 W, and the sit-to-stand test from 20 ± 5.2 to 24.8 ± 7.6 flexions in 30 s. The Quality Of Life, Obesity and Dietetics (QOLOD) scale increased by 12.6%.
conclusionsThe functional rehabilitation protocol of 20 sessions significantly improved patients' body composition, functional tests, and quality of life. The standardization of tests and sessions allowed to objectively assess progress.
