Congenital hyperinsulinism treated by surgical resection of the hyperplastic lesion which had been preoperatively diagnosed by 18F-DOPA PET examination in Japan: a nationwide survey.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeCongenital hyperinsulinism is a rare disease, and the newly developed 18 fluoro-
methodsA questionnaire was sent to the 159 accredited and affiliated training institutes certified as pediatric surgical institutes by the Japanese Association of Pediatric Surgeons, asking if they had encountered patients who underwent surgical treatment for congenital hyperinsulinism after 18F-DOPA PET examination from 2000 to 2017. Six institutes answered that they had treated such cases, and the total number of cases was 14.
results18F-DOPA PET examination detected the focal lesion in 12 of the 14 cases. 18F-DOPA PET examination could accurately determine the site of the hyperplastic lesion in the pancreas in 11 (91.7%) of the 12 cases. All cases underwent surgical resection of the hyperplastic lesion at under 2 years of age.
conclusionSurgical resection of a focal hyperplastic lesion in the pancreas was a safe and effective treatment if the hyperplastic lesion was a focal lesion. However, it is necessary to check the exact distribution of the lesion by intraoperative pathologic examination of frozen sections.
