Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Emotional and Mindless Eating After Bariatric Surgery: a Prospective Exploratory Cohort Study.
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 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
purposeTo assess the effect of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) on emotional and mindless eating and, consequently, body mass index (BMI) loss, in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospective exploratory cohort study was conducted with two groups of patients who had undergone bariatric surgery: the DBT group received DBT group skills training sessions, while the control group received no intervention. Outcome measurements included BMI and scores of the Emotional Eating Scale (EES) and Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ).
resultsThe study included 36 women: 18 in each group. In the DBT group, the interval from surgery was 11.17 ± 7.12 months, and in the control group 10.89 ± 5.74. Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was done in 88.9% and 83.3% of patients in the DBT and control groups respectively. The rest underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The DBT group showed significant changes in overall and subscale scores of the EES and MEQ and BMI in kg/m
conclusionsDBT skills training can reduce emotional eating, increase mindful eating, and facilitate weight loss after bariatric surgery.
