1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundRecurrent weight gain (RWG) is a major post-operative challenge among metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) patients. Binge eating behaviours (BEB) and food addiction (FA) have been identified as significant predictors of post-MBS RWG. However, limited research has investigated their independent associations with post-MBS RWG.

methodsThis cross-sectional study collected data via a self-reported questionnaire of post-MBS patient demographics and eating behaviours from a single-site academic obesity medicine program. The Binge Eating Scale and Yale Food Addiction Scale 2.0 collected data on BEB and FA exposure variables, respectively. ANOVA/chi-square tests determined bivariate associations with BEB and FA, while multivariable logistic regression models examined independent adjusted associations of BEB and FA with RWG% cut-offs.

resultsOf the 294 MBS patients (90.48% female, and 51.71% non-Hispanic white), 42.3% had BEB, 12.55% had severe FA, 7.36% moderate FA, and 7.36% mild FA. After adjustment, BEB was significantly associated with all magnitudes of post-MBS RWG, with the highest odds observed at 50% RWG [OR = 3.07; 95% CI: 1.45, 6.49; p = 0.003]. FA was not significantly associated with post-MBS RWG.

conclusionResults showed that BEB, but not FA, was associated with post-MBS RWG. MBS patient support teams should consider screening for BEB at post-MBS visits.
