Insulinoma with Hyperprocalcitoninemia and Hypercalcitoninemia Showing Coexpression of Insulin and Calcitonin in Its Tumor Cells.
Article in Internal medicine (Tokyo, Japan), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Neuroendocrine neoplasms can produce multiple hormones that are released into the bloodstream, causing symptoms that vary depending on the type and quantity of hormones involved. We herein report a 63-year-old asymptomatic patient with pancreatic insulinoma who showed marked elevations in circulating calcitonin and procalcitonin levels that returned to normal following surgery. Immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the co-staining of calcitonin and insulin immunoreactivity in the tumor cells, suggesting a calcitonin-producing insulinoma. This insulinoma released calcitonin and a considerable amount of its precursor peptide, procalcitonin, resulting in both hyperprocalcitoninemia and hypercalcitoninemia.
