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

Functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNET) necessitate surgical resection. Enucleation is the preferred surgical method for well-differentiated pNETs that measure less than 2 cm in diameter, as it offers a greater likelihood of enhancing post-operative recovery and decreasing morbidity and mortality. Insulinomas are particularly suitable for enucleation when such a procedure is viable. However, enucleating tumors within the uncinate process of the pancreas, especially on its posterior aspect, can present substantial challenges. The accompanying video illustrates a robotic-assisted enucleation of an insulinoma in the uncinate process, performed on a 41-year-old male with recurrent hypoglycemia. This intervention led to the resolution of symptoms and incurred minimal post-operative morbidity.
