Ultra-processed Food Intake is Inversely Associated with Cooking Skills in Post-metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Individuals: A Cross-sectional study.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeCooking skills seem to influence individuals' consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF). However, there are no studies evaluating this relationship in people who have undergone metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS). This study aimed to assess the association between UPF consumption and the cooking skills of individuals after MBS. MATERIAL AND
methodThis is a cross-sectional, online, nationwide study. Cooking skills were assessed using the cooking skills index (CSI), and UPF consumption was measured using the NOVA-UPF score. Data was also collected on sex, age, body mass index (BMI), economic classification, surgical technique, time since surgery, and whether the reported consumption was at the weekend to be included as adjustment variables in the relationship between the NOVA-UPF score and the CSI.
resultsThe study included 1525 individuals with a mean of 37.90 (SD 54.12) months who had undergone MBS (median 12 months), an age of 38.53 (8.02) years, and a BMI of 29.97 (5.82) kg/m
conclusionCSI is negatively associated with UPF consumption in individuals undergoing MBS.
