Primary mesenteric neuroendocrine tumor that changed its internal composition from cystic to solid: a case report.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 2017. 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
Mesenteric neuroendocrine tumors are usually metastases originating from the small intestine; however, primary mesenteric cases are rare. We present an interesting case of a mesenteric neuroendocrine tumor that changed its internal composition from cystic to solid. A 72-year-old male visited our hospital because of epigastralgia 4 years earlier. A 25-mm tumor was recognized around the terminal duodenum on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, and was diagnosed as a cystic lesion. Over the following 2 years, the tumor grew to 40 mm and its internal composition changed from cystic to solid. The lesion showed positive findings on fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Upon laparotomy, a solid tumor was detected in the mesentery of the jejunum near the ligament of Treitz. The tumor was extracted without intestinal resection and was diagnosed as a low-grade neuroendocrine tumor after histopathological and immunohistochemical examination. One year has passed since the operation, and there has been no recurrence.
