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

A case of recurrent insulinoma spanning 4 decades is described. Following a delayed diagnosis, hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was confirmed in a 24-year-old woman during early pregnancy. Initial surgery, culminating in subtotal pancreatectomy, was noncurative. A 1-cm insulinoma was subsequently resected from the head of the pancreas postpartum, with postoperative resolution of hypoglycemia. However, 32 years later, the patient experienced a recurrence of hypoglycemic symptoms. Eventually, a subcentimeter extrapancreatic lesion was identified anterior to the pancreatic head on gallium-68 DOTA-Exendin-4 positron emission tomography/computed tomography. In 2022, a third operation was performed, with excision of a 4 × 3 mm tumor adjacent to the pancreatic head, and histology confirming insulinoma. She was again cured of symptoms.
