Factors Associated with Weight Loss After Metabolic Surgery in a Multiethnic Sample of 1012 Patients.
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 16 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
backgroundMetabolic surgery is the most effective method for weight loss in the long-term treatment of morbid obesity and its comorbidities. The primary aim of this study was to examine factors associated with percent total weight loss (%TWL) after metabolic surgery among an ethnically diverse sample of patients.
methodsA retrospective review was performed on 1012 patients who underwent either a sleeve gastrectomy (SG) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) at our institution between January 2008 and June 2015.
resultsAfrican Americans had a lower %TWL than non-Hispanic/Latino Whites at 6, 9, 12, 18, and 48 months. At all timeframes, there was a negative association between pre-surgery TWL and %TWL after surgery. Female sex was negatively associated with %TWL at 3 months only. Higher initial BMI was also associated with greater post-operative %TWL at 18, 24 and 36 months. Older patients had lower %TWL at 6, 9, 12 and 24 months post-surgery. Patients who received RYGB had greater %TWL than those who received SG at 3, 6, 9, 12, 24 and 36 months.
conclusionsAfrican Americans had a lower %TWL than non-Hispanic/Latino Whites at most time points; there were no other significant race/ethnicity or sex differences. BMI (greater initial BMI), age (lower) and RYGB were associated with a greater post-operative %TWL at certain post-surgery follow-up time points. A limitation of this study is that there was missing data at a number of time points due to lack of attendance at certain follow-up visits.
