1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveGrit is a person's ability to establish long-term goals and work to achieve those goals irrespective of any barriers. We examined the relationship between the personality trait grit, obesity, and metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS)-induced weight loss.

methodsIn an ongoing prospective cohort, 104 adult patients who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) had preoperative grit questionnaires administered. The association between grit domains and 1-year weight loss was evaluated by ANCOVA.

resultsAmong the 104 patients who completed a pre-operative grit survey, 74 completed the survey again 1 year after surgery (72.1%). One year percent total body weight loss (TBW) was 28.4% for the entire cohort and 27.9% for the 74 patients who had complete follow-up at 1 year. Grit scores were not significantly different between baseline and postoperative measurements (pre-op 3.69 ± 0.68 versus post-op 3.67 ± 0.67). Neither the pre-operative total grit score nor its major domains consistency of interests and perseverance of effort were associated with 1-year weight loss (r = 0.034, P = 0.733).

conclusionsThere was no correlation between grit and MBS-induced weight loss at 1 year after surgery. As a physiologic solution, MBS may result in weight loss independent of a person's ability to set long-term goals and achieve those goals.
