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

BACKGROUND/

aimGastroenteropancreatic neuro-endocrine carcinomas represent poorly differentiated neoplasms with a high capacity of spreading inducing the development of distant metastases. In such cases debulking surgery seems to offer a good chance for survival especially in well and moderately differentiated lesions. The aim of this study was to report the case of a 48-year-old patient submitted to surgery for moderately differentiated neuroendocrine gastric carcinoma with distant metastases. CASE REPORT: The patient was initially investigated for hematemesis and weight loss and was diagnosed with a lesser curvature gastric tumor in association with liver and peritoneal metastases. Due to the extent of the disease, the patient was initially submitted to neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery with radical intent. At the time of surgery subtotal gastrectomy en bloc with total omentectomy, peritonectomy, cholecystectomy and atypical liver resection were performed. Moreover, the two ovaries presented large tumoral masses so total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy was performed. The histopathological studies confirmed the presence of a moderately differentiated neuroendocrine gastric carcinoma with negative resection margins.

conclusionMultiple visceral resections might be needed in order to maximize the debulking effort in metastatic gastric neuroendocrine carcinomas.
