The Long-Term Impact of Postoperative Educational Programs on Weight Loss After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.
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 8 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
purposeRoux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a well-documented treatment of severe obesity. Attending postoperative educational programs may improve the outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether participation in educational programs lasting 2-3 years after RYGB influences long-term weight loss, weight regain, physical activity, and compliance to multivitamin supplements. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe Bariatric Surgery Observation Study (BAROBS) is a multicenter retrospective, cross-sectional study 10-15 years after primary RYGB. Four hundred and ninety-seven participants answered questions regarding participation in postoperative educational programs. Participants were divided into frequent attendees (FA) and infrequent attendees (IFA) at the educational programs.
resultsTen to 15 years after surgery, a total weight loss (TWL) of 23.2 ± 11.6% were seen in the FA group vs 19.5 ± 12.6% in the IFA group, p < 0.001. Percent excess weight loss (%EWL) was 55.7 ± 28.9% vs 46.0 ± 31.1%, p < 0.001. Weight regain in percent of maximal weight loss for the FA was 32.1 ± 32.8% vs IFA 38.4 ± 40.0%, p = 0.052. No difference between the groups in compliance to multivitamin and physical activity.
conclusionParticipants with frequent participation in group-based educational programs had better weight loss outcomes 10-15 years after RYGB and tended to have less weight regain. There was no difference between the two groups in participants compliance to recommended multivitamin supplements and physical activity.
