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

Neuroendocrine tumors constitute a group of heterogeneous neoplasms, both those that are clinically asymptomatic and those which present with an array of symptoms. This variable clinical manifestation and unsatisfactory detection rate on diagnostic imaging make preoperative diagnosis particularly challenging. Insulinoma is a rare tumor originating from insulin-synthetizing pancreatic beta cells which clinically manifests hypoglycemia. The current study presents the case of a patient with a one month history of diabetes, and a tumor of the pancreatic head diagnosed at the Regional Hospital of Lomza (Lomza, Poland). The patient subsequently underwent surgery. The histological examination indicated insulinoma; islet cell tumor of the pancreas. The patient's postoperative period was uneventful and during two years of follow-up, the patient has remained in good health with completely controlled diabetes mellitus. The hereby-presented case of pancreatic insulinoma confirms this finding, as a correct diagnosis could only be established on the basis of pathomorphological examination. In addition, radical surgical resection is currently the only available treatment.
