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

Insulinomas are the most common functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs). We herein present the case of a 5-year survivor with insulinoma after complete response of postoperative liver metastases to hepatic arterial infusion combined with systemic chemotherapy. A 58-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital following loss of consciousness. Examination revealed a pancreatic tumor, and she underwent distal pancreatectomy following diagnosis of insulinoma. Superparamagnetic iron oxide magnetic resonance imaging (SPIO-MRI) revealed multiple liver metastases 3 months after surgery. Therefore, we performed hepatic arterial infusion of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) combined with systemic gemcitabine infusion. We observed complete ablation of all metastatic liver nodules after 11 cycles of the chemotherapy using MRI. We continued this chemotherapy regimen for 20 cycles, and the patient remains alive without any recurrence 7 years after surgery.
