Depression and Suicide After Bariatric Surgery.
Review in Current psychiatry reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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 reviewIndividuals with morbid obesity benefit from bariatric surgery with respect to weight loss and decreases in obesity-related somatic disorders. This paper focuses on psychosocial outcomes and provides a narrative review of recent meta-analyses and controlled studies concerning postoperative depression and suicide. RECENT
findingsConsiderable evidence shows short- and medium-term improvement in depressive symptoms after surgery. However, a subgroup of patients exhibits erosion of these improvements or new onset of depression in the long run. Some studies have found an increased risk for suicide among postoperative patients. Prospective longitudinal examinations of factors contributing to the increased risk for postoperative depression and suicide and the interaction between these factors are warranted. The inclusion of mental health professionals in bariatric teams would help to monitor patients for negative psychosocial outcomes and to identify those patients who are vulnerable to depression, suicide, and any other forms of deliberated self-harm following surgery.
