Staying on Track: Factors Influencing 10-Year Follow-Up Adherence After Sleeve Gastrectomy.
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
backgroundSleeve gastrectomy (SG) is currently the most frequently performed bariatric procedure worldwide. While its popularity continues to grow due to favorable surgical outcomes and acceptable complication rates, maintaining long-term postoperative follow-up remains a major challenge. This study aimed to identify factors influencing adherence to 10-year follow-up in patients who underwent SG and to evaluate their long-term clinical outcomes.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 150 patients who underwent SG between 2013 and 2014 at a single center in Poland. Data included demographics, obesity-related diseases, surgical details, and follow-up adherence. Logistic regression was used to identify predictors of long-term follow-up. Outcomes such as weight loss, obesity-related diseases remission, and surgical complications were assessed in accordance with ASMBS guidelines.
resultsOf 150 patients, 101 (67.3%) completed the 10-year follow-up. Age was the only independent predictor of long-term follow-up adherence (OR = 1.03, CI = 1.00-1.07, p = 0.048). Neither distance from the hospital nor size of the city of residence significantly impacted follow-up rates. Among the patients with follow-up, the median total weight loss (%TWL) was 21.5%, and remission of type 2 diabetes and hypertension occurred in 55.6% and 36.8% of patients, respectively. Additional surgery was performed in 16 patients, mainly due to recurrent weight gain and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Complication rate was 4.0%, with no mortality reported.
conclusionsOlder patients had slightly higher follow-up adherence after SG. Despite multiple measures to maintain contact, a substantial proportion of patients were lost to follow-up.
