Neuroendocrine tumour of the lesser omentum.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A man in his early 20s presented to us in the outpatient department with a history of diarrhoea for 4 months. Investigations revealed elevated serum chromogranin levels and an intensely avid lesion in the gastrohepatic ligament in Gallium DOTATATE positron emission tomography (PET). The tumour was excised laparoscopically, and no other lesions were seen. The patient improved clinically and had a normal serum chromogranin level postoperatively. He is currently much improved at the 1year follow-up. We did an extensive workup to look for a primary tumour. It was concluded that it was a de novo tumour arising from the lesser sac. The recommended investigations in case of neuroendocrine tumour (NET) with unknown primary include blood investigations to look for the functional status of the tumour, histopathological examination, including immunohistochemistry, and radiological imaging, which must include a Gallium DOTATATE PET. An isolated NET of the lesser sac has not been reported in the literature.
