The Use of Predictive Markers for the Development of a Model to Predict Weight Loss Following Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy.
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 17 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
backgroundAverage percent excess weight loss data is commonly discussed preoperatively to guide patient expectations following surgery. However, there is a wide range and variation in weight loss following vertical sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Unfortunately, most surgeons and even fewer patients have heard of using predictive models to help guide their decisions on procedure choice. We have developed a predictive model for SG to help patient choice prior to this major life-changing decision.
objectivePredict weight loss results for SG patients at 1 year using preoperative data.
settingPrivate practice.
methodsThree hundred and seventy-one SG patients met the criteria for our study. These patients underwent surgery between October 2008 and June 2016. Non-linear regressions were performed to interpolate individual patient weights at 1 year. Multivariate analysis was used to find factors that affected weight loss. A model was constructed to predict weight loss performance.
resultsVariables that affect weight loss were found to be preoperative body mass index (BMI), age, hypertension, and diabetes. Diabetes and hypertension together were found to significantly affect weight loss.
conclusionPatient weight loss can be accurately predicted by simple preoperative factors. These findings should be used to help patients and surgeons decide if the SG is an appropriate surgery for each patient. Using this model, most patients can avoid failure by choosing an appropriate surgical approach for their personal circumstances.
