Classification and Treatment Protocol of Post-bariatric Patients: An Anamnestic and Psychiatric Profiling.
Article in Aesthetic plastic surgery, 2025. 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
introductionPost-bariatric surgery is one of the fastest-growing subspecialties in plastic surgery. The increase in the number of surgical procedures has not been followed by an equivalent categorization of patients. Surgical innovations and technical refinements are widespread, while clear classification and objectification of surgical indications are lacking.
methodsA retrospective monocentric study was carried out. We included 135 patients operated in our department of plastic surgery between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. Patients were adults with a history of bariatric surgery. We analyzed two major and two minor criteria before the reconstructive procedure was performed. We divided patients into three clusters (A, B and C) according to the number and nature of major criteria met. We then compared the incidence of postoperative complications and the percentage of body weight regained at 1 year after surgery between the groups. We also tested the impact of minor criteria in each cluster.
resultsOur sample had a mean age of 48.5 years, a mean BMI of 27.68 kg/m
conclusionThe classification proposed based on our criteria may represent a first step toward classifying post-bariatric patients and reinforcing the surgical indication in these patients. It also enables us to identify the patients who are most at risk of complications. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III: This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
