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

Despite multiple intracranial and extracranial relapses associated with a widely metastatic meningeal solitary fibrous tumor (formerly classified as hemangiopericytoma), a 66-year-old type 2 diabetic man was first diagnosed with paraneoplastic hypoglycemia 23 years after the original diagnosis and 12 years after the onset of extracranial metastatic disease. An enlarging mass entirely replacing the left kidney measuring 11.6 × 10 × 28 cm, which had not been locally treated before, was considered to be the putative source of IGF-2 excess. The insulin-like effects of IGF-2 not only ameliorated his long-standing type 2 diabetes mellitus, but also caused spontaneous fasting hypoglycemia. The physiopathology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach, and treatment of non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia are briefly discussed here. Palliative tumor debulking improved the hypoglycemia by day 11 after radiation therapy and glucose monitoring with continuous glucose monitoring system (Dexcom G6) facilitated the patient's management and gave him peace of mind.
