In a previous study of VLCD as a treatment for sleep apnea, all 3 gallstones were reported during the maintenance phase.
“This was also the case in a previous study of VLCD as a treatment for sleep apnea (3/3 gallstones reported during the maintenance phase).28, 29”
From Risk of symptomatic gallstones and cholecystectomy after a very-low-calorie diet or low-calorie diet in a commercial weight loss program: 1-year matched cohort study (2014) · cites this paper as [29]
Methods > Intervention identifies this as a VLCD study of sleep apnoea and says patients were offered a one-year weight-maintenance programme. Results > Safety reports adverse events through week 9 but does not report three gallstones or their timing during maintenance; Methods > Safety mentions gallstones only as a possible VLCD adverse event.

“little high quality evidence exists to support this concept. Randomised controlled trials are especially lacking, prompting questions about selection bias and residual confounding in available studies.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
