Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdown on Gastric Bypass Results at 1-Year Follow-up.
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 11 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
purposeThe COVID-19 pandemic caused a lockdown in many countries, which induced negative dietary habits and sedentary behavior. Studies suggest that weight loss of patients undergoing bariatric surgery was equally affected. The aim was to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on weight loss, obesity-related comorbidities, and nutritional status at 1-year follow-up after gastric bypass (GB).
methodsRetrospective observational case-control study of patients undergoing primary GB in a tertiary referral Belgian center. COVID-19 period group was composed by those whose 1-year postoperative period was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown: from October 1, 2019, to March 31, 2020. The control group was composed of patients operated from October 1, 2018, to March 31, 2019. Electronic clinical records were reviewed searching: baseline characteristics, weight and comorbidities evolution, and biochemical values.
resultsA total of 47 patients in the COVID-19 period group and 66 in the non-COVID-19 period group were analyzed. There were no significant differences in baseline characteristics. A reduced weight loss was observed at 1-year follow-up, in terms of percentage of excess weight loss (%EWL) (82.4% [SD: 21.6] vs. 82.4% [SD: 21.6]; p: 0.043) and body mass index (BMI) (27.8 kg/m
conclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown had an impact on weight loss at 1-year follow-up after gastric bypass.
