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

Radiolabeled glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP- 1) analog scintigraphy is a new, high-sensitivity imaging method for detecting small insulinomas. Somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS) is an established method for detecting gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. However, small benign insulinomas are difficult to detect using SRS. Furthermore, GLP- 1 receptor (GLP- 1R) expression and SRS results may be inversely correlated. We identified 689 neuroendocrine neoplasms, including pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) and neuroendocrine neoplasms originating from non-pancreatic sites, and performed GLP- 1R immunostaining. Among the non-insulinoma PanNETs, immunohistochemical insulin or proinsulin positive cases were categorized as Ins
