Postoperative outcomes based on patient participation in a presurgery education and weight management program.
Article in Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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.
Who cites it
8 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it.

Abstract
backgroundThe benefits of presurgery weight management programs (WMPs) for bariatric patients are mixed; some show a positive impact on percent excess weight loss (%EWL) at 12 months postsurgery, while others show no effect.
objectivesThe purpose of this study was to compare pre- and postoperative 6- and 12-month outcomes between patients who attended a 12-week presurgery WMP and patients who did not participate.
settingOhio State Wexner Medical Center, University Hospital, United States.
methodsA retrospective medical record analysis was conducted to compare preoperative and 6- and 12-month postoperative outcomes for patients who attend the presurgery WMP (n = 56) and patients who did not (n = 441) within a 2-year time period (N = 497). Descriptive statistics and independent t tests were conducted to determine mean differences between groups, while controlling for surgery type, for weight status outcomes (%EWL, change in body mass index) preoperatively and 6 and 12 months postsurgery, and length of stay and readmission rate.
resultsPatients who attended the preoperative WMP had significantly higher %EWL at 12 months postsurgery compared with patients who did not attend the WMP. Additional findings indicated a positive, but nonsignificant effect, from the WMP on presurgery body mass index, and postsurgery %EWL at 6 months and body mass index change at 6 and 12 months postsurgery.
conclusionsPatients attending the WMP had better 12-month %EWL and outcomes compared with those who did not attend the WMP, though this was not true for 6-month outcomes and differed based on surgery type.
