Impact of bariatric surgery and predictive factors for eating disorders before and after surgery: a prospective observational study.
Article in Journal of eating disorders, 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
backgroundMorbid obesity is frequently associated with high-risk behaviors such as eating disorders (EDs).
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the prevalence, changes, and predictive factors of EDs before and one year after metabolic and bariatric surgeries (MBS) in Iranian adults.
methodsThis prospective observational study included 96 MBS candidates with class II (BMI 35-40 kg/m² with comorbidities) or class III obesity (BMI ≥ 40 kg/m²). Patients underwent sleeve gastrectomy (SG), Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), or one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB). Demographic data, nutritional status [assessed by a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ)], BMI, and EDs symptoms were collected before and one year after surgery via the EDs Questionnaire (EDE-Q 6.0), and psychological status was assessed via the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R).
resultsA total of 22.9% of the participants were identified as having EDs. These individuals had a significantly higher BMI compared to those non-eating disorders (non-Eds) (49.9 ± 9.1 vs. 45.4 ± 5.8; p = 0.039). All MBS types (SG RYGB and OAGB) led to significant reductions in EDs global and subscale scores (p < 0.05), with SG surgery group showed notable numerical improvements in weight and shape concerns. Female sex (β = 0.87; p = 0.002) and younger age (β = - 0.03 per year; p = 0.014) were significant predictors of higher EDs scores after surgery.
conclusionMBS reduce symptoms of EDs, with a trend towards SG showing the most prominent effect. Younger age and female sex were independently associated with greater severity of symptoms after surgery. These findings highlight the importance of targeted postoperative psychological support and underscore the interplay between biological and psychological factors.
