Psychometric properties of the eating loss of control scale among postbariatric patients.
Article in Surgery for obesity and related diseases : official journal of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundAssessing the complexities of eating behaviors in patients who undergo bariatric surgery is challenging. The Eating Loss of Control Scale (ELOCS), a measure of loss-of-control (LOC) eating, has not yet been evaluated psychometrically among bariatric surgery patients.
objectiveThis study presents a psychometric examination of the ELOCS in postoperative bariatric surgery patients.
settingAcademic medical center in the United States.
methodsOne hundred seventy-one postbariatric treatment-seeking adults (82.5% female, 52.4% white) with LOC eating completed the ELOCS and measures assessing eating psychopathology and mood. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to test fit for a 1-factor solution. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) examined alternative factor structures.
resultsCFA revealed poor fit for a 1-factor structure (χ
conclusionsFindings suggest possible differences in the construct validity of the ELOCS among postbariatric patients. The 1-factor solution previously supported in clinical and nonclinical groups demonstrated poor fit. EFA revealed a possible alternative 2-factor solution that aligns with emerging literature, suggesting that LOC eating presents differently in postbariatric patients. Researchers interested in LOC eating among bariatric patients should consider use of the ELOCS and testing the proposed alternative factor structure.
