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

backgroundRectal neuroendocrine neoplasms can induce liver metastasis. However, few reports exist on the associated long-term recurrence rates. We report a case of liver metastasis identified 15 years after rectal neuroendocrine neoplasm resection. CASE PRESENTATION: A 50-year-old woman was on semi-annual follow-up after undergoing mastectomy for breast cancer (pT1N0M0) and low anterior resection for grade 1 rectal neuroendocrine neoplasm (pT1b, ly1, v1). Fifteen years postoperatively, a 7-mm hyperechoic mass was identified at liver segment 6. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a slight growth of the mass. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography revealed radiotracer accumulation in the lesion. Laparoscopic hepatectomy was performed. The histopathological diagnosis was grade 2 neuroendocrine neoplasm. The pathological findings and clinical course indicated the tumor originated in the rectum.

conclusionsOur findings highlight the need to reassess the optimal postoperative follow-up period for patients with rectal neuroendocrine neoplasm.
