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

Synchronous pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and renal cell cancer are extremely rare. Von-Hipple-Landau syndrome is a major association. A 43-year-old male patient with left upper quadrant pain and significant weight loss was diagnosed with a synchronous pancreatic tail neuroendocrine tumor with solitary splenic metastasis and a clear-cell renal cell carcinoma of the left kidney. Sonography and a computed tomography scan of the abdomen showed a complex exophytic left renal mass and a necrotic lesion limited to the spleen. Although not apparent on preoperative imaging, distal pancreatic mass was also discovered intraoperatively. Subsequently, left radical nephrectomy, splenectomy, and distal pancreatectomy were performed, and the synchronous primaries and splenic metastasis were confirmed histopathologically. This case is unique in that it demonstrates multiple extremely rare events occurring simultaneously, namely pancreatic and kidney primaries, as well as solitary splenic metastasis.
