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

backgroundIntestinal and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (IP-NETs) are rare tumors with heterogeneous outcomes. The aim of our study was to determine the clinical, therapeutic and pathological factors which impact the overall survival (OS) in IP-NETs.

methodsAll the patients diagnosed with IP-NETs at the Nantes University Hospital between October 1994 and October 2013 were retrospectively analysed. Patients with MEN-1 (Type 1 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia) or Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome were excluded. Additionally, a prospective analysis of tumor grade (mitotic index and Ki67 index) was performed on tumor samples. OS was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method and prognostic factors by log-rank test and Cox model.

resultsThe study included 151 patients. Median age was 60 (range, 14-81). Primary tumor was pancreatic in 86 patients (56.95%) and intestinal in 65 patients (43.05%). Tumors were metastatic (synchronous or metachronous) in 72 patients (47.7%). The median OS was 157 months. For all IP-NETs, age >65 years (P<0.0001), Ki67 >5% (P=0.03), synchronous metastases (P=0.016), primary tumor size >25 mm (P=0.03) and emergency surgery (P=0.007) were independent poor prognostic factors.

conclusionsIn this large series of patients with IP-NET, age >65 years, Ki67 >5%, primary tumor size >25 mm, synchronous metastases and emergency surgery for acute complications have been identified as independent poor prognostic factors.
