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

Primary retroperitoneal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are extremely rare, and many a times, these are metastatic lesions with known or unknown primary location, most commonly arising from the stomach, duodenum, small intestine and rectum. NETs arising from the duodenum are more commonly seen in the first part of the duodenum followed by the second part. The incidence is increasing because of easy accessibility to endoscopies and cross-sectional imaging. In NETs, lymph node (LN) metastasis occurs commonly when the tumour size is more than 2 cm. In contrast, LN metastasis occurs even with subcentimetric lesions, especially the ampullary variant of NETs. A patient presented to us with mild abdominal pain and found to have retroduodenal mass. On evaluation found to be a metastatic LN deposit of NET with the primary arising from the first part and supra-ampullary part of duodenum.
