Bariatric Surgery in Patients with Achondroplasia, a Feasibility Study of Two Case Studies.
Article in Obesity surgery, 2024. 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
backgroundAchondroplasia is a common skeletal dysplasia with a high prevalence of obesity in adulthood. Bariatric surgery has been shown to be effective in treating obesity and related comorbidities, but its feasibility and effectiveness in patients with achondroplasia have not been clearly established.
objectivesThe objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of bariatric surgery in patients with achondroplasia.
settingThis study was performed in France, and bariatric surgeons from the Société Française et Francophone de Chirurgie de l'Obésité et des Maladies Métaboliques (French Francophone Society of Surgery for Obesity or Metabolic Diseases) were asked to participate.
methodsTwo adult women with confirmed achondroplasia and a high BMI were selected for laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Preoperative data were collected, including demographic information, comorbidities, and follow-up at 1, 3, and 6 months and 1 year after surgery. Complications were monitored and recorded.
resultsBoth patients had good excess weight loss outcomes, with an average excess weight loss of 60.5% 1 year after surgery. One patient had a follow-up of 3 years and an excess weight loss of 44%. The surgery was well-tolerated, and no major complications were observed.
conclusionsBariatric surgery is feasible and effective in patients with achondroplasia, with good outcomes for excess weight loss and related comorbidities. These findings suggest that bariatric surgery should be considered a treatment option for patients with achondroplasia and obesity.
