Psychological well-being and marital satisfaction in response to weight loss after bariatric surgery.
Observational study in Surgery today, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeTo compare the marital satisfaction (MS) and psychological well-being (PWB) of men and women before and after bariatric surgery for obesity.
methodsThe subjects of this prospective observational study were obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery. MS and PWB were assessed before, and 6 months after the surgery, using specific scales for MS and PWB.
resultsThe correlation matrix showed that age was not correlated with any of the scores from the PWB scales, and only with the total MS scores of men (P < 0.05). The pre-surgical BMI-post-surgical BMI (ΔBMI) was correlated negatively and significantly with the post-surgical total MS, especially for women, but it was not correlated with the sexual satisfaction of either gender. The score of positive interpersonal relationships was negatively correlated with the ΔBMI, especially for women (P < 0.05), whereas personal improvement was positively correlated for men (P < 0.05). There was also a significant correlation between ΔBMI and purpose in life for both genders. Post-surgical ΔBMIs were not associated with the other two indicators of PWB, namely, autonomy and environmental mastery for both genders.
conclusionsFor women, weight loss after bariatric surgery seemed to improve PWB and MS when assessed 6 months post-operatively; however, the psychiatric assessment of patients before and after the surgery is crucial.
