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

Insulinomas are rare, and even rarer in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Clear criteria for the biochemical diagnosis of insulinomas in patients with renal failure have not been established, and hypoglycemia is often attributed to the renal disease itself, frequently leading to a delay in diagnosis. We describe a case of a patient who presented with asymptomatic recurrent hypoglycemia during hemodialysis. Disease progression and biochemical testing strongly suggested an insulinoma. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen and pelvis,
