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

introductionInsulinomas are neuroendocrine tumors characterized by an excessive secretion of insulin, and its most common primary site is the pancreas. PRESENTATION OF THE CASE: Female, 31 years old, who underwent surgical resection of a pancreatic insulinoma measuring 0.5 × 0.5 cm during the third trimester of pregnancy. The patient started to present characteristic symptoms (hypoglycemia, adrenergic and neuroglycopenic symptoms) 18 months before being referred to our center. It was decided to resect the lesion due to the intensity of the symptoms and failure of the clinical treatment. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the fetus presented good vitality, as evidenced by the obstetric ultrasound. The patient was discharged from the hospital on the 6th postoperative day. The neonate was born at term, 38 weeks, with appropriate weight for gestational age. Today, around 12 months after surgery, the patient and the infant are in good health conditions and have no complaints.

conclusionThe moment of the surgical intervention in our case reflects the importance of this report, since it reinforces the feasibility of this procedure during pregnancy.
