Frequency, characteristics and outcomes of appendicular neuroendocrine tumors: A cross-sectional study from an academic tertiary care hospital.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundAppendicular neuroendocrine tumors (NET, Carcinoid tumors) of the appendix are rare and mostly diagnosed incidentally on the post-operative histopathological examination. NET are usually associated with good 5-year survival rates. We aimed to assess our experience for the diagnosis and management of NET over 11 years.
methodIt is a retrospective chart review of all clinically suspected patients with acute appendicitis who underwent emergent appendectomy with intention to treat between January 2004-December 2014, and were clinically followed up until 2016.
resultsDuring the study period, a total of 13641 patients underwent emergency appendectomy, of which 32 were histologically confirmed NET. The mean age of the NET cases was 25.3 ± 7.9 years; 78% were males and all were clinically presented with acute appendicitis. The mean leucocyte was 15 ± 14 × 10
conclusionCarcinoid tumors of the appendix are rare and typically diagnosed incidentally. Detailed examination of routine appendectomy specimens is the key for diagnosis. Simple appendectomy suffices for tumors <2 cm for adequate clearance. Appendicular carcinoid tumors are associated with good long-term outcomes.
