Prioritizing Clinically Relevant Criteria for Longitudinal Obesity Management: A Systemic Framework to Support Decision-Making.
Synthesis in Obesity surgery, 2026. 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
introductionObesity is a multifactorial chronic condition characterised by the interplay of biological, behavioural, psychological, and environmental factors, as well as barriers that influence treatment adherence. This study aimed to identify, organise, and prioritise criteria for obesity management by proposing a systemic framework to support clinical decision-making.
methodsTo this end, a systematic literature review was conducted to identify criteria related to obesity etiology, its consequences, barriers, and motivations for treatment. These criteria were then evaluated by an expert panel. Expert judgements were translated into linguistic scales within a fuzzy environment, and consensus was validated using the Fuzzy Delphi method. The Fuzzy TOPSIS method was then applied to calculate proximity coefficients and rank the criteria across two dimensions: importance and applicability. These dimensions were subsequently unified to generate a consolidated prioritisation for data collection.
resultsThe results highlight the centrality of dietary, emotional, and treatment-adherence factors, reinforcing the need to approach obesity from a multifactorial, non-reductionist perspective.
conclusionThe proposed framework supports planning clinical, surgical, and public health interventions, as well as the development of decision-support systems for longitudinal obesity management. Importantly, the framework does not diminish the relevance of endocrine and genetic mechanisms in obesity but prioritises criteria that are operationally feasible for routine clinical decision support systems, particularly in real-world and multidisciplinary obesity care settings.
