Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma in children and adolescents: a population-based study.
Article in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeGastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Carcinoma (GEP-NEC) in children is an exceptionally rare and aggressive form of cancer. We aimed to conduct a population-based cohort study to predict overall survival (OS) in pediatric patients with GEP-NEC.
methodsThe Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was employed to identify all pediatric patients with GEP-NEC diagnosed between 2000 and 2019. To create survival curves based on various criteria, Kaplane-Meier estimations were utilized. The log-rank test was used to compare survival curves. The variables associated with OS were determined using Cox proportional-hazards regression. Furthermore, we developed a nomogram to predict overall survival in pediatric GEP-NEC patients.
resultsA total of 103 pediatric GEP-NEC patients were identified. The tumors primarily affected females (62.2%). The majority of GEP-NEC was found in the appendix (63.1%), followed by the pancreas (23.3%) and the intestinal tract (13.6%). The highest rates of localized stage (76.9%) and surgery (98.5%) were found in the NEC of appendix origin. However, pancreatic origins had the largest proportion of distant disease (66.7%) but the lowest percentage of surgery (37.5%). Overall 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates for all patients were 94.4%, 85.4%, and 85.4%, respectively. Tumors of pancreatic origin had the worst survival compared with those of the appendix and intestinal tract. The Cox proportional hazard regression revealed that only site was an important independent predictor of survival.
conclusionsOur study revealed that only the primary site was found to be the most important predictor of the OS in pediatric GEP-NEC. It's important to work closely with a multidisciplinary team, including oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists, to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for pediatric GEP-NEC.
