Management of Complications After Bariatric Surgery: a Survey of Comfort and Educational Needs of General Surgeons in Ontario, Canada.
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 3 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
purposeApproximately 10% of patients develop complications after bariatric surgery. These patients often present to their local general surgeon rather than the hospital where the primary bariatric operation was performed. The objective of this study was to conduct a survey of general surgeons in Ontario, Canada, to explore their confidence and educational needs regarding management of surgical complications post-bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsA 40-item survey was created and piloted with community and academic general surgeons. It was disseminated by mail in August 2020 to general surgeons in Ontario who take acute care surgery call. Bariatric surgeons and surgeons who do not take acute care surgery call were excluded.
resultsA total of 138/715 (19.3%) eligible surgeons completed the survey. Of the respondents, 63/112 (54.3%) had no exposure to bariatric surgery during residency or fellowship. A total of 72/108 (66.7%) respondents agreed that management of complications after bariatric surgery should be within the skillset of a general surgeon; however, 28/108 (25.9%) were not confident managing these complications. Seventy-one of 108 (65.7%) respondents were interested in additional continuing professional development (CPD) resources regarding management of these complications. Hands-on workshops, online resources, and live webinars were the most preferred educational formats for such CPD resources, with 67.1% of participants willing to commit 1-3 h and 42.9% willing to pay >$100 for such CPD resources.
conclusionsOne-quarter of general surgeons in Ontario, Canada, were not comfortable managing complications after bariatric surgery; however, the majority of surgeons were interested in additional CPD resources on this topic.
