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

opinion statementRectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are increasing in incidence. Most lesions are low grade, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours with good long term outcomes. However there is metastatic potential and resection offers the only option for a cure and in most cases should be offered to reduce the risk of metastases. Careful staging of rectal NENs should be performed prior to consideration of resection in order to ensure the appropriate technique is chosen, and reduce the risk of incomplete resection. Resection can be endoscopic or surgical, and selecting the appropriate resection technique relies on tumour characteristics such as size, grade, invasion into the muscularis propria, presence of lymph node involvement or of distal metastases. Some patients may require systemic therapies which may involve somatostatin analogues (SSAs), everolimus, tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), chemotherapy or peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Due the rarity of these tumours, much of the evidence is based on retrospective reviews or smaller cohort studies. This article is an update of the current evidence available to guide management.
