Psychological Profile of Bariatric Surgery Candidates: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
introductionThis study aimed to examine the relational roles of childhood trauma, parental care, and coping strategies in bariatric surgery candidates with respect to depressive symptoms and general psychopathology levels in adulthood, employing a comprehensive theoretical model.
methodsThe study sample comprised 118 bariatric surgery candidates (mean age = 37.55 ± 10.36; 88.0% female) who had been referred to a clinical center and received a diagnosis of clinical obesity. Participants completed the Sociodemographic and Clinical Information Questionnaire, CTQ-SF, COPE, SF-36, RSE (Parental Interest Subscale), BDI, and SCL-90-R.
resultsNo statistically significant association was observed between body mass index and any of the psychosocial variables included in the study. The model evaluating predictors of general mental health symptoms accounted for 66% of the total variance. Statistically significant predictors within this model included depression, childhood trauma, coping strategies, and parental interest. In a separate model predicting depression, parental interest emerged as the sole statistically significant predictor. Notably, 83.8% of participants reported a history of at least one prior suicide attempt.
conclusionThese findings underscore the importance of systematically assessing these factors to inform and enhance personalized intervention strategies for bariatric surgery candidates.
