Physical activity, musculoskeletal disorders, sleep, depression, and quality of life before and after bariatric surgery.
Article in Turkish journal of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate physical activity, sleep, depression, quality of life, and musculoskeletal problems pre- and postoperatively in morbidly obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery and analyze the factors that are strongly associated with physical activity. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis prospective study conducted between January 2016 and May 2017 included 27 patients (4 males, 23 females; mean age 37.1±10.4 years; range, 18 to 52 years) who underwent bariatric surgery and 20 healthy controls (3 males, 17 females; mean age 32.0±5.7 years; range, 26 to 46 years). All patients were evaluated by using the short form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and short form 36 (SF-36). Patients were evaluated for regional musculoskeletal pain including back, waist, hip, knee, ankle, heel, and metatarsal pain using Visual Analog Scale. Presence of pes planus was recorded. The examinations and tests performed in the preoperative period were repeated at postoperative six months and the results were compared with the control group.
resultsThe body mass index was 46.2±5.2 kg/m
conclusionObesity is significantly associated with joint pain, physical function impairment, depression, and sleep disorders. Significant weight loss after bariatric surgery improves functional recovery and patient's psychology in a short time.
