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

A goblet cell carcinoid is quite rare and has features, wherein, a carcinoid-like image and an adenocarcinoma-like image coexist. We encountered two cases of rare goblet cell carcinoid originating in the appendix. Case 1 is that of a 48-year-old man with a chief complaint of abdominal distension and case 2 is that of a 64-year-old woman with a chief complaint of constipation. At the time of diagnosis, both cases had already metastasized to the peritoneum and other organs, and no radical surgical treatment could be administered in either case. Chemotherapies were performed according to the regimen for colon cancer, and they were effective to a certain extent. During the course of treatment, however, both cases developed intestinal obstruction, presumably due to peritoneal dissemination, which led to worse condition and death several months afterwards. Chemotherapy for goblet cell carcinoids has not yet reached a consensus, and further studies and establishment of therapeutic strategy are desired in the future.
