Survival of patients with small bowel neuroendocrine neoplasms in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand.
Article in ANZ journal of surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSmall intestinal Neuroendocrine Neoplasms (SI-NENs) are the most common primary malignancy of the small bowel. The aim of this study is to define the survival of patients with an SI-NEN in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ).
methodsA retrospective study of all patients diagnosed with a jejunal or ileal SI-NEN in the Auckland region between 2000 and 2012 was performed. The New Zealand NETwork! Registry was searched to identify the study cohort. Retrospective data collection was performed to collect stage, survival and follow up data.
resultsOne hundred and seven patients were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 62.8 years (SD 11.9). The 5 and 10-year disease-specific survival for all patients was 66.1% (95% CI 56.5-75.7%) and 61.8% (95% CI 51.8-71.8%), respectively. Ten-year disease-specific survival was 100% for stage I and II, 74% (95%CI 61.7-84.4%) for stage III and 33.9% (95%CI 16.9-35.6%) for stage IV SI-NEN. Eleven of 40 (27.5%) patients with stage III disease had recurrence and 3 of 7 (42.8%) patients with stage IV disease had recurrence. In patients with stage IV disease, neither primary resection (HR 2.25, 95% CI 0.92-5.5) nor distant resection (HR 1.72, 95% CI 0.63-4.7) were significantly associated with a disease-specific or overall survival benefit.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that stage at SI-NEN diagnosis is associated with survival, but resection of the primary or distant metastases in patients with stage IV disease is not. There was no recurrence in patients with stage I or II disease after complete resection.
