Predictors for Adherence to Multidisciplinary Follow-Up Care after Sleeve Gastrectomy.

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
introductionA considerable proportion of patients who undergo bariatric surgeries (BS) do not attend routine postoperative follow-up despite recommendations for such. Data are sparse regarding the various aspects of patient adherence to consultations following sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
objectivesTo examine predictors of adherence to SG follow-up, reasons for attrition from follow-up, and the relationship between adherence to follow-up and weight loss results.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed with a mean follow-up of 3 years. Data were collected from electronic medical records and telephone questionnaires. Adherence was defined both as a numerical variable (ranking 0-9 according to the number of pre-scheduled postoperative visits) and as a dichotomous variable (adherent and non-adherent groups).
resultsOf 178 patients, 46.63% were defined as "adherent," according to the dichotomous definition. Compared to the "non-adherent group," patients in the "adherent group" more regularly used vitamin D after the surgery, had fewer rehospitalizations, and reported a lower intake of sweetened beverages. The main reasons for attrition were work-related and difficulties in mobility. Adherence to postoperative follow-up was not found to be correlated to weight loss. Older age (OR = 1.04; p = 0.026) and postoperative side effects (OR = 2.33; p = 0.035) were found to be positive predictors for adherence, whereas rehospitalizations (OR = 0.08; p = 0.028) and ethnical minority status were negative predictors (OR = 0.42; p = 0.019).
conclusionAdherence to postoperative follow-up was found to be associated with positive lifestyle behaviors; however, no correlation was found to mid-term weight loss outcomes.
