Complications Requiring Intensive Nutritional Care After Bariatric Surgery Result in More Long-Term Weight Loss but Has No Impact on Nutritional Deficiencies and Depression-Anxiety Scores.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeBariatric surgery is associated with significant weight loss and improvement in comorbid conditions but in rare cases can expose to complications requiring intensive nutritional care (INC). INC in this context is poorly described and no data are available concerning long-term impact. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed charts of bariatric patients who were hospitalized in our institution between 2013 and 2018. We identified patients with a postoperative complication requiring INC and we described their nutritional management (INC group). These patients were compared with controls matched to age, gender, preoperative BMI, and type of surgery selected from our database (control group). The primary endpoint was the percentage of total weight loss (%TWL) at 2.5 years. Secondary endpoints were improvement of co-morbidities, vitamin deficiencies, and depression/anxiety scores.
resultsThe INC group consisted of 18 patients among which 77.8% had sleeve gastrectomy (SG). Half of these patients underwent revisional surgery. The most common complication was fistula formation (66.7%). Patients in the INC group, compared to the control group, showed a significantly higher %TWL at 2.5 years (33.6% vs 26.1%, P = 0.03). There was no significant difference in either reduction of preoperative comorbidities or depression/anxiety scores between the two groups. The number of patients with more than three nutritional deficiencies was similar in both groups. Thiamine deficiency was only observed in the INC group.
conclusionComplications requiring INC after bariatric surgery occur mainly after revisional surgery and may increase long-term %TWL but have no impact on nutritional deficiencies or symptoms of anxiety/depression.
