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

Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (PanNEN) are rather rare entities. Morphology, combined with immunohistochemistry, allows typing and grading, thereby leading therapeutic decisions. Depending on tumor stage and differential diagnosis, a broad diagnostic panel may be required. The present work summarizes the minimal diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive markers in PanNEN.Markers of choice for defining a neuroendocrine phenotype are synaptophysin, chromogranin A, and INSM1. The proliferation fraction Ki67 is indispensable for grading, while p53 and Rb1 can help in the differentiation from neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC). Transcription factors, such as cdx2, TTF‑1, and Islet‑1, can indicate the site of a primary tumor in the setting of a cancer of unknown primary (CUP). DAXX/ATRX immunohistochemistry has mainly prognostic value. Molecular pathology studies currently have little practical value in the diagnosis of PanNEN.An important pitfall in routine diagnostics is the wide spectrum of differential diagnoses mimicking neuroendocrine neoplasms. An expanded immunohistochemical panel is strongly recommended in case of doubt.
