The Impact of Psychiatric History and Peri-operative Psychological Distress on Weight Loss Outcomes 1 Year After Bariatric Surgery.
Article 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 if self-reported baseline psychological distress moderates the association between lifetime psychiatric diagnosis and weight loss 1 year after bariatric surgery. An exploratory analysis assessed change in psychological distress from baseline on weight loss at 1 year.
methodsA retrospective cohort study using data from the Ontario Bariatric Registry for all individuals undergoing surgery between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2018, with a complete baseline psychological assessment and 1-year post-operative weight recorded (N = 11,159). Multiple linear regressions assessed the relationship between psychiatric diagnosis and percentage of excess body mass index loss (%EBMIL) at 1-year post-surgery, controlling for baseline body mass index, socio-demographics, medical co-morbidities, and surgical complications. Baseline psychological distress, measured with the EQ-5D-5L anxiety/depression rating, was examined as a moderator of this relationship. %EBMIL was separately regressed on change in psychological distress from baseline to 1 year, controlling for psychiatric diagnosis.
resultsIn the adjusted model, psychiatric diagnosis was associated with lower %EBMIL at 1 year (B = - 1.00, P = .008). Baseline psychological distress was not a moderator, but had a significant main effect on %EBMIL (B = - .84, P = .001). Those who experienced a decrease in psychological distress at 1 year, or remained low throughout, fared better than those who increased or had persistently high symptoms.
conclusionsThese findings support use of a self-report assessment for psychological distress prior to bariatric surgery. Addressing active psychological distress prior to and/or following surgery may increase the likelihood of successful outcomes.
