Bile Acid Malabsorption in Patients with Neuroendocrine Tumors.
Article in Digestive diseases and sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundChronic diarrhea in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET) may be caused by bioactive products of NET, bile acid malabsorption (BAM), ileal resection (IR) or steatorrhea.
aimTo quantitate BA and fat malabsorption in NET with diarrhea.
methodsPart of evaluation in medical oncology clinical practice, 67 patients [42F, 25 M; median age 64.0 y (17.0 IQR)] with well-differentiated NET and diarrhea underwent clinically indicated measurements of 48-h fecal BA [(FBA), fecal weight (normal < 400 g/48 h), fecal fat (normal < 7 g/day) in n = 52] and fasting serum 7αC4 (marker of hepatic BA synthesis, n = 30) between 01/2018 and 11/2020. IR had been performed in 45 patients. BAM diagnosis was based on FBA criteria: elevated total FBA (> 2337 µmol/48 h) or > 10% primary FBA or combination > 4% primary FBA plus > 1000 µmol total FBA/48 h. We also measured fecal elastase (for pancreatic insufficiency) in 13 patients.
resultsBAM was present in 48/52 (92%) patients with NET. There were significant correlations between total FBA and 48-h fecal weight (R
conclusionA majority of patients with NET and diarrhea had BAM, even with < 25 cm or no IR.
