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 neoplasms (NENs) have been primarily associated with germline pathogenic variants in genes involved in chromatin remodeling (MEN1), cell cycle control (CDKN1B), PI3K/mTOR signaling (TSC1/2, PTEN) as well as pseudohypoxia (VHL, SDHx). Recent work has implicated various genes involved in DNA repair pathways in the pathophysiology of a subset of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms, including BRCA2, via the homologous recombination pathway (HRD). To date, germline variants in other HRD pathway genes have not been described to contribute to NEN. PALB2, RAD51C, and BARD1 are additional tumor suppressor genes which also mediate repair of double stranded DNA breaks through the HRD pathway and are implicated in hereditary breast (PALB2; BARD1) and ovarian (RAD51C) cancer. Here we report three cases of NEN associated with germline pathogenic variants in PALB2 (pancreatic NEN), RAD51C (thymic NEN), and BARD1 (pancreaticoduodenal NEN) respectively, further linking the DNA repair pathway to NENs.
