Sinus node dysfunction following bariatric surgery: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2025. 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
Sinus node dysfunction is often due to degeneration of the heart's impulse-generating system. We report a case of a 40-year-old woman with a recent gastric sleeve surgery, who presented with symptomatic sinus bradycardia following significant post-surgical weight loss. Extensive workup excluded common causes such as electrolyte disturbances, hypothyroidism, or cardiomyopathy. We hypothesize that alterations in leptin metabolism due to weight loss triggered increased vagal stimulation, leading to her bradycardia. The patient was treated with theophylline as a noninvasive alternative to pacemaker implantation. Long-term monitoring showed partial improvement in heart rate. This case highlights the need for vigilance in managing bradycardia as a potential side effect of bariatric surgery-induced weight loss, emphasizing the importance of follow-up and the potential role of leptin in heart rate regulation.
