Evaluation of Intensive Telephonic Nutritional and Lifestyle Counseling to Enhance Outcomes of Bariatric Surgery.
Observational study in Obesity surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundTo determine the impact of an intensive perioperative nutritional and lifestyle support protocol on long-term outcomes of bariatric surgery.
methodsA retrospective observational study was conducted of 955 patients who underwent gastric bypass surgery between 2005 and 2015. Patients were divided into two cohorts: (1) 2005 through August 2013: these 767 patients were required to participate in the intensive telephone-based nutritional support program from 8 weeks preoperative through 44 weeks postoperative; (2) after August 2013, the program was discontinued and 188 patients did not have intensive telephonic nutritional support. Inverse probability weighting was used to obtain weight loss estimates at 1 and 3 years postoperative. Time-to-event analyses were used to investigate hospitalization rates postoperative. Poisson models were used to investigate healthcare utilization.
resultsPatients who participated in the program exhibited 1.97% (95% CI 0.7, 3.3) greater %TWL at 1 year and 2.2% (95% CI -0.3, 4.1) greater %TWL at 3 years postoperative than patients who did not participate. Secondary analyses indicated participation in the program was associated with 44% shorter time to first hospitalization postoperative (p < 0.001).
conclusionsIn this health system, intensive nutritional support was associated with greater weight loss at 1 and 3 years postoperative and higher hospitalization rates.
