Body Contouring Surgery Improves Physical Activity in Patients After Massive Weight Loss-a Retrospective Study.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThe aim of the study was to compare physical activity (PA) in patients who had undergone massive weight loss (MWL), before and after body contouring procedures.
methodsAll patients undergoing body contouring surgery after MWL between 2007 and 2017 with a minimum follow-up of 6 months after the last procedure were included in this retrospective study. Excluded were those with a body mass index > 35 kg/m
resultsIn the 45 patients completing the survey (37 female, 8 male), an improvement in QOL (p < 0.001) and PA scored by the IPAQ (p = 0.017) was found. The Freiburg PA Questionnaire showed no difference in PA before and after body contouring surgery (p = 0,274). Furthermore, scores of the FIS indicated a decrease of functional impairment during physical activity after body contouring surgery (p < 0.001).
conclusionBody contouring improves QOL and PA in patients after massive weight loss. The results of our study confirm the important role of plastic surgery in the treatment and maintenance of health of patients with former obesity.
