Concurrent insulinoma and impaired glucose tolerance suspected as owing to obesity.

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
An obese 68-year-old woman was admitted for examination of fasting hypoglycaemia. A prolonged 18 h fast reduced her plasma glucose without suppressing insulin secretion, while plasma β-hydroxybutyrate levels were suppressed. Despite the prolonged fast, the glucose response to glucagon was increased by 25 mg/dL (1.39 mM) glucose, which is compatible with insulinoma. A 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (75 g OGTT) showed impaired glucose tolerance. An abdominal CT scan revealed a mass lesion in the uncinate process of the pancreas, a finding consistent with the results of angiography and selective artery calcium injection test. The patient then underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy; the pancreatic mass was histologically diagnosed as benign insulinoma. After surgery, a prolonged 24 h fast caused no hypoglycaemia and the glucose tolerance capacity in 75 g OGTT improved. Eight months after surgery, the patient's body weight had reduced by 10 kg. This is therefore a case of concurrent insulinoma and impaired glucose tolerance.
