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

objectivesAt present, pancreaticoduodenectomy or local excision are the main treatment options for ampullary neuroendocrine tumors of any size with no distant spread. Endoscopic papillectomy provided a super minimally invasive treatment method for ampullary lesions. However, the studies of endoscopic papillectomy for ampullary neuroendocrine tumors were very limited. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of endoscopic papillectomy for ampullary neuroendocrine tumors.

methodsBetween August 2007 and June 2021, seven patients with ampullary neuroendocrine tumors with no advanced signs underwent endoscopic papillectomy in our center. We assessed and analyzed the related clinical outcomes. Moreover, a comprehensive literature review was conducted.

resultsAll the seven cases underwent endoscopic papillectomy successfully; six (85.7%) of them achieved the complete resection. No recurrence occurred over a median follow-up of 48 months (range 6-172 months). Moreover, 22 cases from the comprehensive search were included, and showed a promising clinical outcome.

conclusionsEndoscopic papillectomy appeared to be a feasible way to treat ampullary neuroendocrine tumors without the advanced signs, although further prospectively multicenter studies are warranted.
