Preoperative Weight Loss as a Predictor of Short and Midterm Postoperative Weight Loss in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Bariatric surgical practice and patient care, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: To examine if preoperative weight loss correlates to postoperative weight loss 2 and 3 years after surgery. Methods: A review was conducted of bariatric surgery patients who underwent either gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy during 2015-2018 and had 3-year follow-up data. Demographic and outcome data were collected. A best-fit regression model for weight loss was constructed. Results: Eight hundred fifty-nine patients underwent surgery during the selected period, of which 199 patients (23%) were analyzed. Eighty-two percent of patients had gastric bypass and 82% were female. Preoperative percent excess weight loss (%EWL) was not significantly associated with 2- and 3-year postoperative %EWL ( Conclusions: In a cohort of bariatric surgery patients, there was no statistically significant association between preoperative and midterm postoperative %EWL. Postoperative %EWL was negatively associated with several patient-specific factors and increasing time since operation.
