Binge Eating, Food Addiction, and Body Image Dissatisfaction before and after Metabolic Bariatric Surgery: Weight Loss occurs, but the Relationship with Food and the Body May not Improve in the long Term after Surgery.
Article in Obesity 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
objectivesTo compare the severity of binge eating (BE), food addiction (FA), and body image dissatisfaction between candidates to bariatric and long-term post-bariatric patients; and investigate the association between dysfunctional eating behaviors and body mass index (BMI) and body image dissatisfaction after metabolic bariatric surgery.
methods86 patients seeking metabolic bariatric surgery and 59 patients who underwent Roux-en-Y Bypass Gastric at least two years ago (a mean of 7 years ago) were included. The mental disorders have been investigated through the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders - version 5 (DSM-5) criteria. The severity of BE, FA, and body image dissatisfaction were assessed through the Binge Eating Scale (BES), the modified Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 (mYFAS 2.0), and the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), respectively.
resultsThere was no statistically significant difference in the scores of the mYFAS 2.0 (p = 0.929), BES (p = 0.336), and BSQ (p = 0.759) between groups. Among the post-bariatric patients, the mYFAS 2.0 and the BES significantly correlated with the BMI (r = 0.301, p = 0.024 and r = 0.291, p = 0.042, respectively). The BSQ scores were not significantly correlated with BMI (r = 0,207, p = 0,149) but were associated with the mYFAS (0.408, p = 0.004) and the BES (r = 0.526, p < 0.001). The scores of BES significantly predicted the scores of body image dissatisfaction in a linear regression model.
conclusionPatients who underwent metabolic bariatric surgery a long time ago did not have better food- and eating-related behaviors and were not more satisfied with their body image, despite weighing less. Dysfunctional eating behaviors may impair weight outcomes and body image satisfaction.
