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

purposeThe incidence of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) was increasing. The main purpose of this study was to statistically analyze the incidence and prevalence of pNETs and the main risk factors for the prognosis.

methodsBased on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, with three registries integrated, this study comprehensively displayed the annual age adjust incidence of pNETs from 1975 to 2018, the estimated 20-year limited-duration prevalence, and conducted the univariate and multivariate survival analysis.

resultsThe incidence of pNETs has increased to about 1.5 per 100,000 population, and the prevalence has reached about 0.008% with the aged, Grade 1 and nonfunctional tumors accounting for the majority. The average median overall survival (OS), 5-year survival rate, and median disease-free survival (DFS) of pNETs patients from 1975 to 2018 were 85 months, 57.55%, and 220 months, respectively. From 2000 to 2018, the median OS was 94 months, and the 5-year survival rate was 59.94%. In multivariate survival analysis, the greatest risk factor was Grade 3&4 with HR = 3.62 (3.10-4.28), followed by distant stage with HR = 2.77 (2.28-3.36), and aged over 80 years old with HR = 2.26 (1.33-3.83). Surgery was a protective prognostic factor with HR = 0.34 (0.29-0.40).

conclusionThe incidence and prevalence of pNETs were still increasing, but the trend was gradual and aging in recent years. The survival time of pNETs was longer but has not changed much in recent years. The degrees of malignancy, stage, and operation were the most important prognosis factors.
