Psychosocial Functionality and Predictors in Bariatric Surgery Candidates.

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
Background: Obesity is a critical global health issue with increasing prevalence. Although bariatric surgery is effective, relapses are common. Pre-bariatric functioning may significantly influence these relapses. Objective: To evaluate psychosocial functioning in individuals undergoing bariatric surgery, examining depressive symptoms, self-esteem, body satisfaction, disordered eating symptoms, and sociodemographic factors. This cross-sectional study identifies predictors of psychosocial functioning to guide interventions for sustained postoperative well-being. Methods: The study included 175 individuals (81.7% female) attending routine preoperative evaluations at Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine. Most participants (94.3%) were morbidly obese (body mass index (BMI) ≥40). Psychosocial functioning was assessed using the Obesity-Related Problems Scale (OP-S), with 51.4% scoring in the severe range (≥60). Depressive symptoms (Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), body satisfaction Scale (BSS), and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) were also evaluated. Correlation and regression analyses identified predictors of psychosocial functioning. Results: The mean OP-S score was 55.81 ± 24.77. OP-S scores were significantly correlated with depressive symptoms (r = 0.462, Conclusion: Depressive symptoms and disordered eating symptoms are predictors of psychosocial functioning among individuals undergoing bariatric surgery. Addressing these factors through psychiatric evaluations can enhance psychosocial functioning, reduce relapse risk, and improve quality of life. Multidisciplinary care is essential in bariatric treatment.
