Increased Resting Energy Expenditure/Body Weight and Decreased Respiratory Quotient Correlate with Satisfactory Weight Loss After Sleeve Gastrectomy: a 6-Month Follow-Up.
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 4 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
backgroundAlthough bariatric surgery can achieve sustained weight loss, there are major differences in the magnitude of weight change post-operatively. Reduced resting energy expenditure (REE) plays an important role in unsatisfactory weight loss effect by contributing to positive energy balance.
objectivesTo identify pre- and post-surgical predictors related to satisfactory percent of total weight loss (%TWL) in Chinese individuals with obesity after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted in 97 ethnic Chinese with mean body mass index (BMI) of 37.2 kg/m
resultsSatisfactory %TWL was achieved in 53 (54.6%) patients 6 months after surgery. The univariate analysis of post-operative variables showed that patients with satisfactory %TWL had significantly higher resting energy expenditure/body weight (REE/BW) and lower respiratory quotient (RQ) than those who did not (P < 0.001). Multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis indicated that REE/BW and RQ were closely associated with satisfactory %TWL (P = 0.004, P = 0.023, respectively). %TWL was positively correlated with changes in BMI, percent of fat-free mass (FFM%), REE/BW, and RQ.
conclusionsHigher REE/BW and lower RQ resulting from LSG correlated with satisfactory %TWL in Chinese patients with obesity. The maintenance of FFM might be an important factor linking %TWL and REE/BW.
