Socioeconomic and Racial Disparities in Bariatric Surgery.
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 33 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
The purpose of this study was to examine the associations among race and socioeconomic factors (receiving social security disability, insurance type, and income) with undergoing bariatric surgery and weight loss outcomes in a racially diverse, urban cohort of bariatric surgery candidates (N = 314). Patients with private insurance and who identified as Caucasian were more likely to undergo bariatric surgery. Income significantly predicted percentage of excess weight loss 1 year after surgery, although this was no longer significant when accounting for race. Race and socioeconomic factors should be considered during psychosocial evaluations to support patients at risk of surgical attrition and poorer weight loss outcomes. Future research should explore policy solutions to improve access, while qualitative work may help with understanding racial disparities in bariatric surgery.
