Correlation between clinicopathological characteristics and the clinical prognosis of patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

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
Gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are one of the most common types of NETs, accounting for 65-75% of all NETs. However, epidemiological characteristics of patients with GEP-NETs in China are still lacking. The present retrospective study aimed to investigate the local epidemiology of GEP-NETs and assess the prognostic factors in China. The data of 267 patients with GEP-NETs who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical College (Bengbu, China) and the Affiliated Hospital of West Anhui Health Vocational College (Lu'an, China) were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical and pathological characteristics of the patients, as well as follow-up information, were collected, and the 5-year survival rate was calculated. Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank analysis were used to analyze the prognostic factors. The stomach (100/267; 37.5%) was the most common site of GEP-NETs and the liver (25/39; 64.1%) was the most common metastatic site. A total of 166 (62.2%) and 219 (82.0%) patients had positive results for chromogranin A (CgA) and synaptophysin (Syn), respectively. The percentage of patients with tumor grade G1, G2 and G3 was 33.3, 21.0 and 45.7%, respectively. The 5-year overall survival rate was 79.7%, and the age, tumor site, distant metastasis and tumor grading upon diagnosis were all prognostic factors. In conclusion, the present case series investigated the epidemiology and prognostic factors of GEP-NETs in China. CgA and Syn could be used as diagnostic markers for NETs and the stomach was the most common primary tumor site. Lymph node metastasis, tumor site, distant metastasis and tumor grading were important prognostic factors.
