History of abuse and bariatric surgery outcomes: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Surgical endoscopy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAlthough there is evidence to support the relationship between abuse history and obesity, the association between abuse history and outcomes after bariatric surgery is not well-established. We aimed to summarize the current literature examining this relationship, as well as provide clinical recommendations to optimize postoperative outcomes.
methodsPubMed and SCOPUS databases were queried to identify relevant published studies.
resultsOverall, 20 studies were included. Rates of the various types of abuse reported in the bariatric surgery population varied widely across studies, as did the methodology used to assess it. The majority of studies found no significant associations between abuse history and postoperative weight loss outcomes. The literature examining the relationship between abuse history and postoperative psychiatric outcomes was less conclusive.
conclusionsMost current evidence demonstrates that abuse history is not associated with weight loss outcomes after bariatric surgery. Literature on postoperative psychiatric outcomes is mixed, and more robust studies are needed to further investigate the relationship between abuse history and postoperative psychiatric outcomes. Importantly, abuse history should not preclude patients from undergoing bariatric surgery. Of note, patients may benefit from careful monitoring for emotional distress and worsening of psychiatric comorbidities after surgery and psychiatric counseling and treatment when indicated.
