Radical resection of large metastatic non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma complicated by splenic vein thrombosis and sinistral portal hypertension.

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.
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
introduction and importanceThere are limited reports in the literature of radical surgical resection for pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (PNEC). In patients with non-functioning PNEC (NF-PNEC) within the tail of the pancreas tumours can cause splenic vein thrombosis (SVT) and subsequent sinitral portal hypertension (SPH). Radical surgical resection in such patients with concomitant liver metastasis has not previously been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a 67-year old female patient who presented with a large NF-PNEC within the tail of the pancreas with liver metastasis. We performed a distal pancreatectomy, splenectomy, partial gastrectomy and liver resection to achieve radical resecton. DISCUSSION: All patients with NF-PNEC within the tail of the pancreatic should be considered for radical surgical resection. In the presence of multi-visceral involvement and complications such as SVT and/or SPH multi-speciality surgical expertise is likely to be required.
conclusionRadical multi-visceral resection for large NF-PNEC can be safely performed in the presence of SVT and SPH.
