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

backgroundJaundice occurs in some pancreatic disease. However, its occurrences and role in pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs) has not been well studied. In this study we showed the association between jaundice and the risk of high grade and poorly differentiated PNENs.

methodsNinety-three patients with head-neck PNENs were included. Poorly differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms were defined by a ki67 index > 55.0%. Logistic regression was used to show the association between demographic information, clinical signs and symptoms and the risk of poorly differentiated tumors. A nomogram model was developed to predict poorly differentiated tumor.

resultsEight of 93 PNEN patients (8.6%) had jaundice. The age and ki67 index in patients with jaundice were significantly higher than those patients without jaundice. All jaundice occurred in patients with grade 3 PNENs. Mutivariable regression analysis showed that age (odds ratio(OR) = 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI):1.02-1.19), tumor size (OR = 1.42, 95%CI:1.01-2.00) and jaundice (OR = 14.98, 95%CI: 1.22-184.09) were associated with the risk of poorly differentiated PNENs. The age and size combination showed a good performance in predicting poorly differentiated PNENs (area under the curve (AUC) = 0.81, 95% CI: 0.71-0.90). The addition of jaundice further improved the age- and size-based model (AUC = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.78-0.91). A nomogram was developed based on age, tumor size and jaundice.

conclusionOur data showed that jaundice was associated with the risk of high grade PNENs and poorly differentiated PNENs.
