Obesity and bariatric surgery in adults living with severe mental illness: perceptions and clinical challenges.
Article in BJPsych bulletin, 2023. 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
Overweight and obesity are twice as likely to develop in people living with severe mental illness (SMI), compared with those without. Many factors contribute to this, such as reduced physical activity and the use of certain medications that induce weight gain. Obesity contributes to the premature mortality seen in people living with SMI, as it is one of the fundamental risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Bariatric surgery is an effective treatment option, although patients living with SMI might face stigma when being considered for surgical intervention. This article proposes a discussion around obesity and bariatric surgery in patients living with SMI. It will also reflect on the challenges faced by healthcare professionals and patients living with SMI and obesity, when considering appropriate treatments for weight loss. The paper utilises a fictional case, informed by contributions from a lived experience author, to explore bariatric surgery in people living with SMI.
