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
backgroundThe aim of the study was to investigate and identify similarities and differences in the severity of personality traits of candidate patients for surgical treatment of obesity in the context of developing psychological recommendations in the pre- and post-operative period. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: The study included 101 patients (74 females, 27 males) aged between 22 and 64 (
resultsThree clusters of personality traits were identified. The first cluster is characterised by low results in the factor Neuroticism and high results in the factors Extraversion, Openness to experience, Conscientiousness. The second cluster shows high values in the Neuroticism factor and low values in the Extraversion and Conscientiousness factors. Third cluster is characterised by low results in the factor Neuroticism and Extraversion, and high results in Openness to experience and Conscientiousness factors.
conclusionsThe three identified clusters of personality traits of bariatric patients indicate a diversity of patients in terms of personality trait profiles. Due to the characteristics of these profiles and the resulting functioning modes, the first profile has been called 'action-focused', the second profile 'emotion-focused' and the third profile 'avoidance-focused'. The results justify the need for an individualised approach in the surgical treatment of obesity. The results presented are of clinical value to the psychologist's practice in the context of developing treatment-relevant recommendations for psychological interventions in the pre- and postoperative periods. The specific nature of the profiles provides a foundation for recommending, based on the principles of sound clinical practice, psychological interventions conducive to positive treatment outcomes.
