A Neuroendocrine Tumor of Unknown Primary Origin: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are uncommon malignancies that develop from neuroendocrine cells which most commonly occur in the GI tract, lung, and pancreas. Treatment courses for these tumors are largely dictated by the primary origin site, which can present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in NETs of unknown primary origin. Herein, we present a case of an NET of unknown primary origin with significant liver metastases. Our aim is to highlight the key components of the workup of NETs of unknown primary origin and detail the biochemical, histopathological, and imaging modalities as recommended by current literature. We highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to both diagnosis and treatment of these patients as well as touch upon therapeutic options.
