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

Nesidioblastosis is a rare cause of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia in adults and its clinical features are similar to those of insulinoma with recurrent hypoglycemic attacks. The present study reports the case of a 48-year-old man who visited the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University (Zunyi, China) with a 5-year history of recurrent hypoglycemic symptoms such as dizziness and palpitations. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a mass of ~1.2x1.0 cm in the head of the pancreas, which was suspected to be an insulinoma. For confirmation, the patient underwent both fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (
