Gastric carcinoid: germline and somatic mutation of the neurofibromatosis type 1 gene.
Article in Familial cancer, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is one of the most common autosomal dominantly inherited conditions. A range of complications has been described, including gastrointestinal manifestations. Gastric carcinoid tumours are associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia, atrophic gastritis and pernicious anaemia but have not been reported in NF1 in the absence of other predisposing factors. We report the occurrence and investigation of a gastric carcinoid tumour in a 23-year-old woman with previously uncomplicated NF1. Analysis of the tumour tissue revealed loss of heterozygosity at the NF1 gene locus but a normal karyotype and an absence of microsatellite instability. A germline NF1 gene nonsense mutation in exon 37 was detected by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography and DNA sequence analysis. This is the first reported occurrence of a gastric carcinoid tumour in a patient with NF1 in the absence of other predisposing factors such as pernicious anaemia. The analyses indicate that the carcinoid arose through NF1 gene inactivation but in the absence of an inherited NF1 gene microdeletion. This case adds to the range of gastrointestinal tumours that may be encountered in patients with NF1, particularly in those who present with upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage.
