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

Introduction: Well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) can be non-functional or functional, e.g. insulinoma and glucagonoma. The majority of PNETs are sporadic, but PNETs also occur in hereditary syndromes, primarily multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). The Knudson hypothesis stated a second, somatic hit in Methods: A systematic search was performed in concordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) reporting guidelines of 2020. A search in Pubmed for published studies using whole exome, whole genome, or targeted gene panel (+400 genes) sequencing of human G1/G2 PNETs was conducted at the 25 Results: Sporadic PNETs accounted 72.0% (162/225), hereditary PNETs 13.3% (30/225), unknown germline status 14.7% (33/225). The most frequently altered gene was Discussion: The somatic genetic alterations in G1/G2 PNETs are diverse, but with distinct differences between sporadic vs. hereditary, and functional vs. non-functional PNETs. Increased understanding of the genetic alterations may lead to identification of more drivers and driver hotspots in the tumorigenesis in well-differentiated PNETs, potentially giving a basis for the identification of new drug targets.
