Review in Surgical oncology clinics of North America, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.

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

Neuroendocrine tumors of the gastrointestinal tract or pancreas are rare. Their presentation overlaps with other intra-abdominal neoplasms, but can have unique features. The workup involves recognition of unusual clinical features associated with the tumors, imaging, analysis of blood or urine concentrations, and biopsy. Functional imaging takes advantage of the neuroendocrine tumor-specific expression of somatostatin receptors. There are characteristic features supporting the diagnosis on contrast-enhanced cross-sectional imaging. The use of tumor markers for biochemical diagnosis requires an understanding of the confounding variables affecting these assays. There are unique and specific immunohistochemical staining and grading requirements for appropriate diagnosis of these tumors.
