Psychosocial factors and dietary patterns in metabolic and bariatric surgery: analyzing anxiety, depression, and hedonic hunger.
Observational study in Eating and weight disorders : EWD, 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
backgroundScientific evidence has demonstrated that psychosocial factors can influence hedonic hunger (HH). Moreover, HH can be a predictor of metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) outcomes. The Mediterranean Diet (MD) has been used as a model approach for managing excess weight. In this study, we assessed the association between anxiety and depression levels, HH, and adherence to MD in candidates to MBS and post-MBS subjects.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional observational study that included individuals who were candidates and who were submitted to MBS. Data analysis included anthropometric measurements, assessment of anxiety and depression levels, HH, and adherence to MD.
resultsOf the 64 included individuals, 68.8% were female, with a mean age of 48.39 years. A significant positive correlation was observed between HH and anxiety and depression levels. No statistically significant relationship was found between adherence to MD and HH, nor with anxiety and depression levels.
conclusionPsychological status largely contributes to weight control. Therefore, patients should be carefully assessed before and after surgery to ensure treatment and adequate follow-up. Future studies are needed to better determine the complex relationship between psychological factors, HH, food intake, and weight. LEVEL V: Cross-sectional observational study.
