1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Neuroendocrine tumors of the small intestines are a rare disease with an incidence of 1 per 100,000 of the population; however, they account for over 20% of all neuroendocrine tumors and are the most common malignancy of the small intestines. Diagnosis is often made at a late stage of the disease, as the clinical symptoms are unspecific. Approximately one third of all patients show hepatic metastases at the time of diagnosis. There is no correlation between tumor size and tumor stage. Even small tumors <10 mm harbor the risk for lymphatic and distant metastases so that the extent of surgery is not determined by the size of the primary tumor. The intestinal-sparing resection with systematic lymphadenectomy along the superior mesenteric artery and removal of the retropancreatic lymph nodes is recommended even in localized stages of the disease.
