1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETS) are unusual and rare neoplasms for which prognostic assessment and the diagnosis of malignancy, on the basis of histology alone, represent considerable challenges for the pathologist. To date, many molecular markers have been identified with a view to providing accurate and timely prediction of response to treatment and long-term survival. Proliferation remains a key feature of tumor progression, which has been widely estimated by the immunohistochemical use of the Ki-67 nuclear antigen. Given the continued difficulties inherent in prediction of malignancy in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PETs) in particular, it has become unclear whether Ki-67 is truly a reliable prognostication marker. This review seeks to better establish what the consensus is on the role of the Ki-67 proliferation index as a prognostic indicator of long-term outcome in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. We conclude that most studies favor the utility of the Ki-67 proliferation index despite different critical percentages and in concert with other pathological parameters in the routine work-up of PETs.
