Hypersomnia as the first presentation in a patient with insulinoma: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Molecular and clinical oncology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Insulinoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor. Hypersomnia as the first presentation in a patient with insulinoma is even more rare and may be easy to misdiagnose. We are herein reporting a case of insulinoma initially presenting with prolonged sleep time and extreme difficulty in waking. The abovementioned symptoms occurred every 2-3 months. Over the last 2 months, the attacks had become more frequent and severe. On computed tomography examination, a 12×9-mm cystic nodule was detected in the uncinate process of the pancreas, which was pathologically diagnosed as insulinoma. Since resection, the symptom of hypersomnia has not occurred again. The aim of the present report was to raise awareness among physicians to consider insulinoma in the differential diagnosis of hypersomnia in patients without other known diseases.
