Additional preparation program for bariatric surgery: Two-year results of a large cohort study.
Article in Obesity science & practice, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Multidisciplinary screening of bariatric surgery candidates is recommended, and some centers provide an additional preparation program (APP) to optimize patients preoperatively. Objective: To compare patients with APP to standard care 2 years after primary bariatric surgery regarding postoperative weight loss and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted for patients undergoing primary Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy between September 2017 and March 2019. The first 12 months patients received an APP, after September 2018, the APP was no longer part of the weight loss trajectory. A multivariable linear regression model was built. Results: Of the 384 patients receiving an APP advice, 50 were lost to follow up. In total, 192 (57%) received the APP and 142 (43%) received standard care. Percentage total weight loss after 2 years was significantly different, 28.8% for the APP group versus 32% for the standard group ( Conclusion: A weight loss trajectory is at least as effective without additional preparation in terms of 2 years postoperative %TWL for primary gastric bypass and sleeve procedures. For comorbidities, diabetes mellitus was in remission more often in the APP group.
