An abdominal wall neuroendocrine tumor of unknown primary origin: A case report and review of the literature.
Review in Cancer reports (Hoboken, N.J.), 2022. 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
backgroundNeuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are neoplasms that arise from cells of the endocrine and nervous system. NETs, often found in the gastrointestinal tract, can be found anywhere in the body, and have metastatic potential. NETs occasionally present with metastatic disease without an identifiable primary tumor. CASE: A 79-year-old female patient presented with an abdominal wall mass. Percutaneous biopsy was consistent with a NET. Preoperative endoscopy and PillCam were unremarkable. PET Dotatate demonstrated uptake in the abdominal wall as well as vague uptake in the pelvis. Intraoperatively, we identified a suspicious nodule on the sigmoid colon, which was consistent with a drop metastasis on final pathology.
conclusionIn this case report we present a patient with a NET metastasis to the abdominal wall without a known primary site. This case highlights the limitations of endoscopy and imaging in the workup of metastatic NETs. Additionally, this is a novel case report of a metastatic NET to the abdominal wall without an identifiable primary site.
