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

To investigate incidence, treatment patterns and outcomes of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NEN) in the United States. The 2019 National Cancer Database was searched for adult GEP-NEN patients. Main outcomes included overall and site-specific incidence, treatment patterns, and overall survival (OS). Overall survival was evaluated using averaged Cox regression. 86,324 GEP-NEN patients were included (6.33% of all GEP malignancies). From 2004 to 2016, annual GEP-NEN cases increased (n = 4,010 to n = 9,379), largely driven by low-stage, low-grade disease. Most patients received surgery, either alone (72.9%) or in combination with systemic therapy (4.9%). Longest overall survival (OS) was evident in patients with low stage and low grade GEP-NEN of the small intestine and rectum (p < 0.001). Patients undergoing surgical resection demonstrated longest OS. The addition of systemic therapy was most effective in high stage G3 NEN. Having higher income (≥$63,333) and private insurance or Medicare, but not Medicaid, was associated with improved survival. GEP-NEN incidence increases, likely due to improved detection and diagnosis. Treatment patterns have evolved to follow the latest international guidelines and site-specific improvement in survival is noted. In addition to disease specific factors, insurance access and socioeconomic factors emerged as potential targets for improving outcomes.
