Delphi Consensus Among French Obesity Experts on Clinical Recommendations for Drug Prescription in Patients With Severe Obesity.
Review in Obesity reviews : an official journal of the International Association for the Study of Obesity, 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
introductionAlthough the physiologic alterations seen in obesity often affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs, most clinical trials do not consider these aspects specifically for this population. To date, there is no list of potentially inappropriate medications for patients living with obesity. The aim of this study was to use the Delphi method to identify useful recommendations for the prescription of some specific drug classes in patients living with severe obesity.
methodsWe identified five therapeutic groups of drugs using data from the HEGP Clinical Data Warehouse. We conducted a literature review and sought the opinions of local experts to produce potential recommendations. We selected volunteer medical experts from the French network FORCE and set up a two-round Delphi method, concluded by a synthesis meeting, to establish a list of recommendations. In each round, the experts were asked to rate the potential recommendations.
resultsForty-three proposed recommendations were evaluated in the first round. The experts approved four recommendations with a strong consensus and 16 with a relative consensus. In the second round, they approved six recommendations with a strong consensus and 13 with a relative consensus.
conclusionThis is the first study to use the Delphi method to produce a summary of consensus recommendations for several drug classes in patients living with severe obesity. It provides an expert-based consensus on the use of the five most commonly prescribed therapeutic drug classes and develops a list of recommendations for drug prescription in patients living with severe obesity.
