Loss-of-control eating after bariatric/sleeve gastrectomy surgery: Similar to binge-eating disorder despite differences in quantities.
Article in General hospital psychiatry. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
objectiveTo characterize loss-of-control eating following sleeve gastrectomy surgery by comparing relevant patient groups.
methodParticipants were 431 adults seeking treatment for eating/weight concerns categorized into one of four groups: 1) overweight/obesity (OW/OB), 2) binge-eating disorder (BED), 3) "Bariatric Binge-Eating Disorder" (Bar-BED) defined as meeting all criteria for DSM-5 binge-eating disorder, except for the requirement of an unusually large amount of food, following sleeve gastrectomy surgery, and 4) "Bariatric Loss-of-Control Eating" (Bar-LOC Only), defined as experiencing at least once weekly loss-of-control eating episodes during the past month without the other associated clinical features and distress that characterize Bar-BED, following sleeve gastrectomy surgery.
resultsThe Bar-BED and BED groups reported comparable levels of overall eating-disorder and depressive symptoms, and these levels were significantly higher than those levels reported by the OW/OB and Bar-LOC Only groups. Adjusting for age, body mass index, and race did not change the overall pattern of findings.
conclusion"Bariatric Binge-Eating Disorder" shares clinical features of DSM-5 binge-eating disorder, regardless of the quantity of food consumed. Careful assessment of loss-of-control eating, associated behavioral features, and distress is warranted following surgery. More broadly, our findings highlight the importance of assessing loss-of-control eating across patient groups with obesity.
