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

objectiveGlucagonoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas. We present the case of a young female patient who presented with the major clinical manifestations of glucagonoma syndrome.

methodsThe major clinical manifestations of glucagonoma syndrome are described in a 44-year-old, female patient. Beyond glucagonoma, the patient also displayed deep venous thrombosis, depression, diabetes, and necrolytic migratory erythema. We discuss the difficulty of treatment of patients with glucagonoma due to the low prevalence of the disorder, scarcity of medical evidence, lateness of diagnosis with liver metastases in most cases, and poor response to chemotherapy with high rates of relapse after surgery. In this case, pancreatectomy and hepatic lobectomy followed by somatostatin analogue therapy was the chosen treatment strategy.

resultsThe clinical findings were pancreatic and hepatic masses, proximal deep venous thrombosis, depression, diabetes, and necrolytic migratory erythema. The patient also had elevated levels of glucagon. Pancreatectomy and right hepatic lobectomy were performed and confirmed the glucagonoma.

conclusionOur case adds new knowledge about glucagonoma which is important due to the low incidence of the disease and the particular characteristics of the syndrome.
