Daily Timing of Meals and Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery: a Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 timing of food intake throughout the day can alter circadian clocks and metabolism to modulate the course of obesity. We conducted a systematic literature review to determine whether the timing of meals could alter the change in body weight after bariatric surgery in adults. Twelve cohort studies examined the association between meal timing and changes in body weight after bariatric surgery. Eight studies suggested an association between meal timing and weight loss. All studies examined simple exposure variables such as frequency of breakfast or dinner consumption and overnight meals. Overall, the low-quality evidence that food consumption at the end of the day is associated with lower weight loss after bariatric surgery in adults warrants further research.
