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

Neuroendocrine tumors (NENs) originate from neuroendocrine cells and predominantly occur in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and pancreas. Although the liver is commonly involved in NEN metastasis, primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) are rare. Herein, we report a case of a 52-year-old female who presented with slowly enlarging, cystic, multiple PHNETs. Two tumors in segments 6 (S6) and S7 were noted on computed tomography (CT), and an additional S7/8 tumor was found on magnetic resonance imaging. Additionally, CT during hepatic arteriography (CTHA) revealed a small tumor in S8. No other primary tumors were detected in other organs. Posterior segmentectomy and S8 partial resection were performed for the tumors. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was a grade 2 neuroendocrine tumor. The patient showed no recurrence of tumor 3 years postoperatively. In this study, CTHA was more effective than other examinations in detecting small tumors, which could be resected without any residual tumors.
