Preoperative Factors Associated with Weight Loss and Recurrent Weight Gain after Bariatric Surgery: A Longitudinal Study in a UK Public Healthcare Setting.
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
objectiveBariatric surgery is an effective treatment for obesity. This study aims to identify demographic factors of weight loss and recurrent weight gain over a 10-year follow-up period.
methodsThis retrospective observational study includes 2092 patients for overall trends, 1032 patients for predictors of weight loss, and 605 patients for predictors of recurrent weight gain. Percentage total weight loss (%TWL) trends were measured over 10 years. The rate of weight loss and recurrent weight gain was used as a response variable in multivariate analysis.
resultsAfter bariatric surgery, mean ± SD %TWL was greatest at 31.3 ± 10.7 % by 2 years, followed by gradual recurrent weight gain to a %TWL of 25.1 ± 12.6 % at 10 years. Up to 5 years, %TWL was greater with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (n=1080; 27.9 ± 11.5 %) and one-anastomosis gastric bypass (n=217; 28.3 ± 10.1) had greater %TWL than sleeve gastrectomy (n=795; 22.8 ± 12.5 %) (ANOVA, p < 0.005). Age, sex, preoperative body mass index, diabetes, operation type, and smoking were statistically significant predictors of weight loss up to 2 years (p < 0.05). Age, hypertension, Index of Multiple Deprivation quintile, and early %TWL up to 2 years were statistically significant predictors of recurrent weight gain after 2 years (p < 0.05).
conclusionsOperation type, age, sex, preoperative body mass index, diabetes, operation type and smoking had significant associations with weight loss while age, hypertension, Index of Multiple Deprivation and initial postoperative weight loss had significant associations with recurrent weight gain.
