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

Gastric neuroendocrine tumors are gastric neoplasms originating from enterochromaffin type cells and are inserted in a larger group, named gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. They are considered rare and variable in terms of their clinical, morphological and functional characteristics and may be indolent or aggressive. They are classified into types I, II and III, according to their pathophysiology, behavior and treatment. Their diagnosis occurs, in most cases, incidentally during upper digestive endoscopies, presenting as simple gastric polyps. Most cases (type I and type II) are related to hypergastrinemia, can be multiple and are treated by endoscopic resection, whenever possible. The use of somatostatin analogs for tumor control may be one of the options for therapy, in addition to total or subtotal gastrectomy for selected cases. Adjuvant chemotherapy is only reserved for poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas. Although rare, gastric neuroendocrine tumors have an increasing incidence over the years, therefore deserving more comprehensive studies on its adequate treatment. The present study reviews and updates management recommendations for gastric neuroendocrine tumors.
