Impact of COVID-19 Lockdown on Short-term Weight Loss in a Single Italian Institution.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Italy was the first European country to have a major outbreak of COVID-19. Bariatric procedures were stopped and telemedicine had to be implemented. A large percentage of patients struggled to follow postoperative diet and to start physical activity due to social restrictions. We have compared short-term outcomes of patients who had bariatric procedures prior to lockdown with subjects that had undergone obesity surgery in the same period of the previous year at our institution. A total number of 63 patients were included in this study. Weight loss at 1, 3 and 6 postoperative months in the 2019 group was significantly higher at any point of follow-up when compared to 2020. Social limitations and nonattendance of clinical appointments may have compromised early results.
