Small-Cell Type, Poorly Differentiated Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Gallbladder: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Case reports in oncological medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
The poorly differentiated small-cell type, neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the gallbladder is a very uncommon subtype of a neuroendocrine tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Nonsecretory NEC by virtue of its nonspecific and subtle clinical presentation of the tumor is usually diagnosed at an advance stage with presenting symptoms related to either locally advance disease or from metastatic disease. Though the radiologic imaging does identify the gall bladder cancer, the tumor lacks a specific diagnostic test; therefore, the diagnosis is almost always confirmed on histopathologic and immunohistochemical staining. We present a case of a poorly differentiated, small-cell neuroendocrine tumor of the gallbladder. The patient died within 3 months after the definitive diagnosis was made. Survival from this deadly malignancy can be improved with aggressive surgical treatment followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy on a case-by-case scenario. The systemic chemotherapy remained the treatment of choice for an unresectable tumor (Chen et al., 2014).
