Quality of life, dumping symptoms, and weight bias internalization after endoscopic bariatric revisional therapies.

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
backgroundEndoscopic bariatric therapies (EBT) have been developed as an adjunctive therapy to treat persistent obesity and recurrent weight gain and dumping symptoms after metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). While the efficacy of revisional EBTs has been documented, no studies to date have examined how these procedures impact quality of life (QOL) and internalized weight bias (IWB).
aimTo understand how endoscopic revisional therapies impact QOL, IWB, and dumping syndrome.
methodsAnalysis included 19 participants treated for post-MBS recurrent weight gain and/or dumping syndrome. The short-form 36 survey, weight bias internalization scale, and the Sigstad scoring system were used to measure QOL, IWB, and dumping syndrome pre- and ≥ 4 weeks post-EBT.
resultsAt 6-months, total body weight loss was 8.6% ± 7.15% (
conclusionFindings suggest that revisional EBT may improve post-MBS QOL across a broad spectrum of outcomes beyond optimizing body weight. As early EBT results indicate positive mental and physical health outcomes, further research is needed to evaluate the relationship between these improvements, body weight and interdisciplinary post-MBS care.
