Gastrinoma: A Case of Chronic Diarrhea.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Gastrinoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor characterized by the hypersecretion of gastrin. Early diagnosis is challenging due to its rarity, and patients present to the outpatient department with nonspecific complaints such as diarrhea, weight loss, and fatigue, which often lead to a broad differential diagnosis. This report presents the case of a 59-year-old female who has come to the internal medicine department for a workup of chronic diarrhea, low-grade fever, 8kg weight loss, and severe reflux of eight months duration, not responding to empiric therapy. After multiple hospital visits and evaluations, she was found to have duodenal gastrinoma. This case report aims to create awareness and underscores the importance of considering neuroendocrine tumors as an initial differential diagnosis for patients with nonspecific or unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms to facilitate early diagnosis.
