Qualitative study on postbariatric surgery follow-up in France: a new patient-physician relationship.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. 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
backgroundMost studies on bariatric patients to date have only examined mortality and morbidities in terms of surgery or no surgery. Few have investigated loss to follow-up in post-surgery patients. PURPOSE: This study aimed to describe the dynamics behind non-adherence to follow-up in bariatric patients postsurgery.
designUsing semi-structured interviews, we performed a qualitative study. Using a thematic analysis, we described themes involved in patient adherence to postsurgery follow-up.
settingParticipants were recruited from a university hospital near Paris and via social networks.
participants17 patients who had undergone surgery, some of whom were lost to follow-up, 15 women and 2 men, were interviewed, during a mean time of 90 min. 10 were adherent, and 7 were lost to follow-up.
resultsFollow-up was seen as a support in which the care provider-patient relationship can act on the four following themes: (1) regaining control, (2) knowledge acquisition, (3) management of fears and (4) overall restructuring of one's life postsurgery.
conclusionsPatients' experiences and representations of postsurgery follow-up should be documented in detail in order to define the specific roles of the various care providers offering support to this population, and to strengthen the coordination of care pathways between these actors. In addition, improving the quality of communication could improve adherence to follow-up after bariatric surgery.
