The Influence of Socioeconomic Factors on Quality-of-Life After Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
introductionPatients with low socioeconomic status have been reported to experience poorer outcome after several types of surgery. The influence of socioeconomic factors on health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) after bariatric surgery is unclear. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients operated with a primary laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure in Sweden between 2007 and 2015 were identified in the Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Register. Patients with a completed assessment of health-related quality-of-life based on the Obesity-related Problem Scale (OP Scale) were included in the study. Socioeconomic status was based on data from Statistics Sweden.
resultsA total of 13,723 patients (32% of the 43,096 operated during the same period), with complete OP scores at baseline and two years after surgery, were included in the study. Age, lower preoperative BMI, male gender, higher education, professional status and disposable income as well as not receiving social benefits (not including retirement pension), and not a first- or second-generation immigrant, were associated with a higher postoperative HRQoL. Patients aged 30-60 years, with lower BMI, higher socioeconomic status, women and those born in Sweden by Swedish parents experienced a higher degree of improvement in HRQoL. Postoperative weight-loss was associated with higher HRQoL (unadjusted B 16.3, 95%CI 14.72-17.93, p < 0.0001).
conclusionAt 2 years, a strong association between weight loss and improvement in HRQoL was seen, though several factors influenced the degree of improvement. Age, sex, preoperative BMI and socioeconomic status all influence the postoperative HRQoL as well as the improvement in HRQoL after laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery.
