Moving Towards Precision-Based Care in Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery: Predictors of Response To Telephone-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveA telephone-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (Tele-CBT) has been shown to reduce disordered eating and psychological distress after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). However, it remains unclear which patients benefit most. This study aimed to identify predictors of response in a larger sample of Tele-CBT completers.
methodsData from four clinical trials were analyzed. Participants (n= 204) received at least six Tele-CBT sessions and completed surveys pre- and post-intervention. Response was defined as changes in binge eating based on residualized gain scores from the Binge Eating Scale (BES). Demographic variables, Rurality Index of Ontario (RIO) scores, timing of Tele-CBT, surgery type, and baseline symptoms were examined as predictors.
resultsMultivariate linear regression showed that predictors explained 9.7% of the variance in Tele-CBT response (R² = 0.097, F(11, 192)= 1.874, p = 0.063). Raw RIO scores (β = -0.067, p= 0.017), education (β = 0.939, p = 0.045), and race (β = 2.130, p = 0.043) were significant predictors.
conclusionsRural residency was associated with greater Tele-CBT benefit, while higher education and White racial identity were associated with less improvement. These findings highlight the potential importance of sociodemographic factors in shaping response to Tele-CBT, suggesting avenues for more tailored approaches in future bariatric care.
