Percutaneous Microwave Ablation of an Insulinoma in a Patient with Refractory Symptomatic Hypoglycemia.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal surgery : official journal of the Society for Surgery of the Alimentary Tract, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Insulinomas are the most common functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs). Surgical excision is the preferred therapy, and medical treatment with diazoxide or octreotide is typically reserved for those who are poor surgical candidates. A recent emergence of minimally invasive treatment modalities has led to reports of successful radiofrequency and ethanol ablation of insulinomas. We report the first use of microwave ablation for treatment of an insulinoma in a patient with medical comorbidities contraindicating surgery.
