Early Onset of Obesity and Adult Onset of Obesity as Factors Affecting Patient Characteristics Prior to Bariatric Surgery.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
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
backgroundPatients who are slated for bariatric surgery vary in terms of their age at onset of obesity, duration of obesity, and their health complications. Therefore, we aimed to explore a relationship between the age at onset of obesity, metabolic parameters, and health problems in bariatric surgery candidates.
methodsA total of 469 unrelated adults with obesity prior to bariatric surgery were included in this study. The study group consisted of 246 individuals who became obese < 20 years of age, and 223 individuals who became obese ≥ 20 years. Clinical, biochemical, anthropometric assessments, and DXA-derived measures were taken.
resultsPatients with early onset of obesity had a higher total body fat mass, and higher body fat percentage, and a 1.84 times higher risk of BMI above 40 kg/m
conclusionsThe age at which an individual reaches obesity has a significant impact on patient characteristics on the day he or she is evaluated for bariatric surgery. A younger age at obesity onset is a predicting factor for a higher BMI in patients, but they are less likely to clinically manifest well-established consequences of obesity, such as diabetes or hypertension, compared to patients with adult onset of obesity.
