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

Duodenal carcinoid tumors, a type of neuroendocrine tumors, are relatively rare and are usually found incidentally during endoscopy. Small duodenal carcinoid tumors (≤10-20 mm), embedded in the submucosa, can be resected endoscopically because of the low risk of metastasis. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of ligation-assisted endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) for the treatment of small duodenal carcinoid tumors. The clinical outcomes of the endoscopic procedures were also evaluated.Between November 2008 and November 2017, a total of 15 duodenal carcinoid tumors embedded in the submucosa were resected using EMR. Two types of EMR (conventional EMR and ligation-assisted EMR) were performed according to tumor morphology (narrow-based and broad-based).The mean tumor size was 6.6 ± 3.9 mm and the mean procedure time was 11.0 ± 11.2 minutes. Most of the lesions (80.0%) were located in the duodenal 1st portion. Broad-based tumors were more common than narrow-based tumors (66.7% vs 33.3%). All broad-based tumors were resected successfully using ligation-assisted EMR. Although en-bloc resection and complete resection rates were higher in ligation-assisted EMR than in conventional EMR ([100% vs 87.5%], and [85.7% vs 62.5%], respectively), the difference was not significant (P = .333 and P = .310, respectively). Moreover, there was no evidence of local or distant metastasis during the follow-up (26.1 ± 20.7 months).Ligation-assisted EMR showed a higher complete resection rate than conventional EMR. Ligation-assisted EMR may be an optimal treatment option for duodenal carcinoid tumors with a broad base.
