Exploring Sleep, Energy Balance, and Weight Loss Maintenance After Bariatric Surgery in Adult Females: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.), 2026. 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
objectiveThis cross-sectional study examined associations between sleep, body weight, body composition, appetite, and food reward after bariatric surgery.
methodsA single 7-day study period in 22 female adults (age, 53.5 ± 9.3 years; BMI, 35.5 ± 8.5 kg/m
resultsWeight regain was 10.6% relative to nadir postsurgery weight. Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep duration was associated with lower body fat percentage (r = -0.52, p = 0.02). Participants with AHI ≥ 5 had a greater waist to hip ratio compared to those with AHI < 5 (mean difference = 0.09, p = 0.01). Sleep timing and duration variability was associated with fasting prospective food consumption (r = 0.44, p = 0.05 and r = 0.47, p = 0.03, respectively). Greater sleep duration was associated with lower AEE (r = -0.62, p < 0.01) and explicit liking for sweet foods (r = 0.45, p = 0.04).
conclusionsOur exploratory results underscore the need to evaluate whether sleep behaviors, including total and REM sleep duration, AHI, and sleep regularity, predict long-term weight loss maintenance after bariatric surgery.
