Hyperinsulinemic Hypoglycemia Due to an Insulinoma in a 2-Year-Old Child.
Article in JCEM case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Insulinomas are rare insulin-secreting tumors that most commonly affect adults. A 26-month-old child presented to her local emergency department with severe hypoglycemia. Initial workup was consistent with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Over the course of 10 months, multiple therapies for hyperinsulinism (HI) were trialed without significant benefit. Genetic testing for genes associated with HI was negative. At age 35 months, the patient was transferred to our center for further treatment. She underwent several imaging tests that revealed a lesion on her pancreas concerning for an insulinoma. The patient underwent surgical intervention to enucleate the lesion. Histopathological review of the specimen confirmed a benign, well-circumscribed insulinoma. A postoperative fasting test proved the patient was cured and she was discharged without the need for further glucose monitoring.
