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

introductionGastrinoma is a rare tumour of the diffuse neuroendocrine system with the primary invariability located within the duodenum or pancreas. Numerous authors have described gastrinoma apparently isolated to peripancreatic lymph nodes, following exhaustive radiological and operative localisation and examination.

methodTwo cases of apparent primary lymph node gastrinoma seen in our institution are presented, along with a literature review including 58 other presented cases.

resultsOn prolonged follow-up up to 131 months, 34 patients have remained in remission supporting the diagnosis of primary lymph node gastrinoma. Occult primary disease, usually in the form of microduodenal tumours, have become evident in the remaining 24 cases.

conclusionThe existence of primary lymph node gastrinoma is supported by many presented case studies, but long-term follow-up of all patients should occur in the expectation that occult primary disease will become apparent in some.
