Intrapersonal coping predicts greater weight loss 24 months after bariatric surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeCoping is related to numerous health outcomes, including weight loss. However, the relationship between coping and weight loss after bariatric surgery remains unclear.
objectivesThe first objective of this study was to examine cross-sectional relationships between coping, anxiety, and depression. The second objective was to determine whether baseline anxiety and depression predicted weight loss 24 months after bariatric surgery. The final objective was to identify which aspects of coping are related to weight loss 24 months after bariatric surgery. MATERIALS AND
methodsParticipants included 1203 adults who completed a pre-surgical bariatric evaluation, including 841 patients who underwent bariatric surgery, 396 of whom had 24-month weight data. Psychological variables were collected during a pre-surgical psychological evaluation. Weight-related variables were obtained through patients' electronic medical records 24 months after surgery.
resultsBaseline intrapersonal coping (e.g., problem-solving, acceptance) predicted both weight loss variables at 24 months after surgery. However, baseline interpersonal and maladaptive coping were not related to weight loss. Baseline anxiety and depression similarly did not predict weight loss after surgery.
conclusionUse of intrapersonal coping strategies at baseline predicted weight loss 24 months after bariatric surgery. Clinicians should assess and bolster these self-reliant coping strategies prior to surgery to improve patient outcomes.
