Carcinoid Tumor: Advances in Treatment Options.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Small bowel neoplasms are rare, accounting for only 3%-6% of all gastrointestinal neoplasms. Carcinoid tumors represent a large portion of these (20%-30%), making them the second most common small bowel malignancy after adenocarcinoma. Gastrointestinal carcinoids constitute 70% of all neuroendocrine tumors, and out of those, 42% originate in the small bowel. They are predominantly seen in older patients around the age of 65 years. From 1973 to 2004, there has been more than a fourfold increase in the incidence of carcinoid tumors. This can be probably due to increased diagnostic accuracy rather than an actual increase in the number of new cases. The workup of a suspicious case of gastrointestinal bleeding consists of esophagogastroduodenoscopy and/or colonoscopy, and other imaging tests including video capsule endoscopy and balloon-assisted endoscopy. Management of the tumors is dependent on the size and location of the lesion. Treatment options include surgery, endoscopic removal of tumors, and various immunotherapy and chemotherapeutic agents.
