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

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) are rare, but their incidence has increased in recent years. Curative surgery is recommended in several global guidelines for resectable PNENs. Lymph node recurrence after R0 resection for PNENs is infrequent, and global guidelines recommend surgical resection for recurrence, if resectable. However, data on the prognosis after surgical resection for nodal recurrence of PNENs are limited. We herein report two cases in which long-term survival was achieved after repetitive lymphadenectomy for nodal recurrence of PNENs. In both cases, the pathological findings for primary PNEN showed well-differentiated neuroendocrine neoplasms and R0 resection was successfully performed. The Ki-67 index increased with each resection in both cases. Both patients showed long-term survival (10 and 14 years, respectively). Repetitive lymphadenectomy for nodal recurrence of PNENs may improve patient prognosis.
