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

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) is slow-growing, and account only for 2% of all pancreatic primary tumors. Surgical resection is still the only curative treatment for PNET patients. Unfortunately, most of PNETs was found with unresectable multiple liver metastases and extrahepatic metastasis as their characteristics of non-functional and asymptomatic. With advances in liver surgery in these years, especially combined associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS), provide a new curative surgical treatment for PNET with liver metastases patient. Here we report a PNET with multiple liver metastases case underwent ALPPS (followed by left trisectionectomy) and Whipple operation within one-stage.
