Factors involved in body weight loss and its maintenance in morbidly obese inpatients.

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
backgroundBody weight loss in patients with obesity improves abnormal glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia and hypertension; however, it is difficult to maintain this loss of body weight. The objective of this study was to examine factors involved in body weight loss and its maintenance in morbidly obese inpatients.
methodThe subjects were 31 patients (11 males and 20 females) who were admitted to hospital for obesity management. Factors involved in body weight changes during hospitalization and after discharge were examined retrospectively. The mean age was 58.1 ± 13.6 years and body mass index (BMI) was 40.2 ± 10.2 kg/m
resultsExcess weight loss (EWL) during hospitalization varied from 4.2 to 61.7%. Since EWL was affected by duration of hospital stay, the subjects were divided by the median of EWL per day. The subjects with greater EWL per day had lower body weight, BMI and fat mass on admission in the entire (
conclusionThese results suggest that EWL in morbidly obese inpatients is greater than those with lower baseline BMI and fat mass. The presence of diabetes had no effects on EWL during hospitalization. EWL during hospitalization was not correlated with its maintenance after discharge. Diabetic patients displayed lesser degree of body weight gain after discharge, possibly due to the effects of anti-diabetic medications.
