Perception of Bariatric Surgery and Endoscopic Bariatric Therapies Among Primary Care Physicians.
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, 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
introductionIn the USA, less than 1% of eligible patients who qualify for bariatric surgery ultimately undergo surgery. Perceptions of endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBTs) for weight management remain unknown.
methodsA 22-question survey was distributed to primary care physicians (PCPs) across the Mayo Clinic healthcare system. Survey invitations were sent via email, and all surveys were unanimously conducted electronically.
resultsA total of 130 PCPs participated in the survey (40% response rate). Twenty-four PCPs were between 20 and 24 years out of training (18.5%), and 71 (54.6%) were female. Most providers had a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5 and 24.9 kg/m
conclusionsDue to the rise of bariatric therapies in recent years, PCPs are increasingly involved in the referral and management of patients with obesity and obesity-related comorbidities. However, knowledge gaps regarding weight loss options, including EBTs, could limit optimal care to patients desiring medically monitored weight loss.
