Immunohistochemistry in the diagnosis and classification of neuroendocrine neoplasms: what can brown do for you?
Review in Human pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 103 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
This review is based on a presentation given at the Hans Popper Hepatopathology Society companion meeting at the 2019 United States and Canadian Academy of Pathology Annual Meeting. It presents updates on the diagnosis and classification of neuroendocrine neoplasms, with an emphasis on the role of immunohistochemistry. Neuroendocrine neoplasms often present in liver biopsies as metastases of occult origin. Specific topics covered include 1. general features of neuroendocrine neoplasms, 2. general neuroendocrine marker immunohistochemistry, with discussion of the emerging marker INSM1, 3. non-small cell carcinoma with (occult) neuroendocrine differentiation, 4. the WHO Classification of neuroendocrine neoplasms, with discussion of the 2019 classification of gastroenteropancreatic neoplasms, 5. use of Ki-67 immunohistochemistry, 6. immunohistochemistry to assign site of origin in neuroendocrine metastasis of occult origin, 7. immunohistochemistry to distinguish well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor G3 from poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma, 8. lesions frequently misdiagnosed as well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumor, and 9. required and recommended data elements for biopsies and resections with associated immunohistochemical stains. Next-generation immunohistochemistry, including lineage-restricted transcription factors (e.g., CDX2, islet 1, OTP, SATB2) and protein correlates of molecular genetic events (e.g., p53, Rb), is indispensable for the accurate diagnosis and classification of these neoplasms.
