The impact of sleeve gastrectomy on quality of life and mental health one year after surgery: a single-center prospective cohort study.
Article in BMC surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesThe prevalence of impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and some mental health complications, such as anxiety and depression, were previously reported to be higher in cases with obesity. However, the prevalence and changes before and after metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) are less well-defined in various populations of individuals with severe obesity.
methodsIn this prospective study, the status of HRQOL, anxiety, and depression symptoms of 32 cases with severe obesity who underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG) were investigated one month before and one year after surgery. The assessments were performed through the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Impact of Weight on Quality of Life-lite (IWQOL-Lite) questionnaires.
resultsOne year after surgery, Patients' average body mass index (BMI) decreased significantly by 9.14 kg/m
conclusionThe point prevalence of mental health complications appears to be relatively higher among patients who underwent MBS compared to the general population. While the surgery effectively reduced weight and improved the HRQOL of patients, the impact on anxiety and depression was insignificant. Due to the small sample size, especially the limited number of patients with abnormal HADS scores, these findings should be interpreted cautiously.
