Personality Traits and Weight Loss Surgery Outcome.
Review in Current obesity reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
purpose of the reviewTo update the recent findings on the influence of personality features on postoperative weight loss in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. RECENT
findingsSeveral studies investigated the influence of pre-surgical psychological variables on the outcome of bariatric surgery, but the effective role of personality factors (i.e., both normal personality traits and personality disturbances) in shaping bariatric surgery outcome is still unclear. We analyzed nine recent papers that examined the impact of pre-operative personality traits on postoperative weight loss among individuals undergoing surgery for severe obesity. A personality pattern denoting the ability to self-regulate in spite of the urges or demands of the moment emerged as a robust predictor of good outcome across studies, independently from baseline psychiatric comorbidity and personality disorders.
