Marked improvement in hyperammonaemic encephalopathy from multimodal treatment of metastatic neuroendocrine tumour.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (GEPNETs) are a heterogenous group of tumours which are rising in incidence. Morbidity and mortality related to these tumours is dependent on the location of metastatic spread. Hyperammonaemia and subsequent encephalopathy has previously been described in GEPNET and is typically associated with a poor prognosis. We describe a case of a 55-year-old woman with hyperammonaemic encephalopathy and a new diagnosis of GEPNET. Given the poor prognosis and the outcomes in this patient group we feel this case highlights the benefit of a multimodality treatment approach including peptide receptor radionucleotide therapy and transarterial chemoembolisation.
