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

Insulinomas represent <10% of pancreatic tumors. It is a functional neuroendocrine tumor that can cause recurrent and severe episodes of loss of consciousness due to hypoglycemia. Surgical removal is the only curative treatment. The selection of the optimal surgical technique must be individualized for each patient. Currently, there are emerging innovations in less invasive techniques that reduce morbidity. We present the case of a 23-year-old woman who underwent enucleation of an insulinoma localized at the tip of the pancreatic tail after laparoscopic surgery, with a focus on vascular and splenic preservation. The tumor was safely identified during surgery and enucleated without injury to the spleen and adjacent vascular structures or postoperative complications.
