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

Ganglioneuromas are rare neuroendocrine tumors affecting around one in a million, mostly young adults. These slow-growing, well-differentiated neuroepithelial tumors originate from the neural crest and involve the sympathetic nervous system. We present an unusual case of a 47-year-old African American man with mildly elevated liver enzymes who was incidentally found to have a suspected pancreatic mass. Endoscopic ultrasound and fine-needle biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of a ganglioneuroma, inseparable and exophytic in the body of the pancreas extending into the tail.
