Higher Edmonton Obesity Staging System scores are associated with complications following laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

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 Edmonton Obesity Staging System (EOSS) is a staging system describing comorbidities and functional limitations associated with obesity, thus facilitating the prioritization of patients for bariatric surgery. Our objective was to elucidate any associations of EOSS scores with major complications after laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB).
methodsA retrospective chart review examined patients who received primary LRYGB from 2009 to 2015 at a single center. Collected data included patient comorbidities, preoperative EOSS stage, body mass index (BMI), age, percent excess weight loss, and 1-year major complications. Major complications were defined by a Clavien-Dindo classification ≥ IIIa.
results378 patients (81.7% female) receiving primary LRYGB were reviewed with the following EOSS stages: 0 (3.7%), 1 (10.8%), 2 (78.6%), 3 (6.9%), and 4 (0.0%). The mean preoperative BMI was 45.9 (SD 6.3) kg/m
conclusionOur findings suggest that undergoing LRYGB with EOSS stage 3 has increased odds of major complications. As such, the EOSS demonstrates utility in identifying bariatric surgery candidates at risk of major postoperative morbidity. Further studies are required to assess the applicability of the EOSS for patients undergoing other forms of bariatric surgery.
