Effects of Bariatric Surgery in Individuals with PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in Obesity facts, 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
introductionThe aim of this systematic review was to provide an overview of the literature on the effects of bariatric surgery in patients with obesity and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) hamartoma tumor syndrome (PHTS) diagnosis.
methodsA systematic literature search was conducted using the search word PHTS and Bariatric Surgery, modified for each database. Studies were included if they investigated the effects of bariatric surgery in patients with bariatric surgery.
resultsTwo studies were included with a methodological quality ranging from poor to good. Both studies were case reports in young females (<35 years old), and massive effects on weight loss and HbA1c levels were seen. Bariatric surgery in obese patients with PHTS diagnosis results in significant decrease in weight and complete remission of diabetes mellitus type 2. The effects on thyroid hormones, lipid levels, renal function, and psychological factors after bariatric surgery in PHTS remain unexplored.
conclusionMore research is needed to fully understand how bariatric surgery can take part of the preventative treatment options for PHTS patients with obesity.
