Binge Eating and Addictive-Like Eating Behaviors Seven Years After Sleeve Gastrectomy: Implications for Long-Term Weight Loss Outcomes.
Article 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
introductionBinge eating (BE) and addictive-like eating behaviors, as assessed by the Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) may change following metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS), yet their long-term trajectories and relationship with weight recurrence remain unclear. We examined their prevalence, longitudinal course, and associations with weight outcomes seven years following sleeve gastrectomy (SG).
methodsWomen who underwent primary SG (n = 62) were evaluated prospectively at baseline and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months, and 7 years post-surgery. Addictive-like eating behaviors and BE were assessed using the YFAS and Binge Eating Scale (BES), respectively. Longitudinal changes and associations with 7-year weight recurrence from nadir were examined.
resultsThirty women completed the 7-year follow-up. At baseline, addictive-like eating behaviors and BE were identified in 40.0% and 46.0% of participants, respectively. Prevalence declined at 6 months (addictive-like eating behaviors: 8.7%, BE: 10.6%), followed by a gradual increase by 7 years (addictive-like eating behaviors: 21.4%, BE: 26.9%). Baseline behaviors were not associated with weight recurrence at 7 years. In contrast, BE at 7 years was associated with greater weight recurrence from nadir (P = 0.015), whereas addictive-like eating behaviors were not.
conclusionsAlthough BE and addictive-like eating behaviors decline substantially during the early postoperative period following SG, both may gradually re-emerge over long-term follow-up. BE present at 7 years, but not addictive-like eating behaviors, was associated with significantly greater weight recurrence from nadir, underscoring the importance of sustained behavioral and psychological monitoring during long-term postoperative care.
