Impact of bariatric surgery on clinical outcome in LOPD.

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
Objective: This case study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of sleeve gastrectomy surgery in an obese patient with Late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) and to explore the potential role of bariatric surgery in improving clinical outcomes and promoting a more physiological body composition when dietary and physical interventions fail. Methods: We describe a case of an obese LOPD patient who underwent sleeve gastrectomy, with clinical follow-up conducted to monitor motor and respiratory functions, as well as patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), over time. Results: The surgery was well-tolerated without significant complications, and prolonged stability in motor and respiratory functions was observed. Furthermore, the patient reported improvements in quality of life and PROMs following weight loss. Conclusion: This case suggests that bariatric surgery, specifically sleeve gastrectomy, may be a safe and effective complementary strategy for weight loss in LOPD patients, offering benefits in functional stability, and quality of life.
