Insulinoma with focal hepatic lesions: malignant insulinoma?
Article in BMJ case reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Insulinoma is a rare tumour that is malignant in only 10% of cases. We report a case of insulinoma in a 59-year-old woman, associated with focal liver lesions, which raised the suspicion of malignancy of a pancreatic tumour. Enucleation of the insulinoma was performed with wedge resection of one hepatic nodule. Pathological examination indicated that the pancreatic tumour was compatible with insulinoma whereas the hepatic lesion was related to focal nodular hyperplasia. This clinical case highlights the need for histopathological proof of malignancy before selecting therapeutic strategies for insulinomas.
