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

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) are comparatively rare pancreatic malignancies that exhibit diverse biologic behavior, ranging from indolent tumors to widely metastatic cancers, with up to 15 % secreting hormones that cause symptoms. As a consequence, the management of PNETs is highly individualized and can include active surveillance of small (1-2 cm) and very small (< 1 cm) nonfunctioning tumors without worrisome features, parenchymal-sparing resection of appropriately located tumors, anatomic pancreatectomy and, in select cases, debulking of metastatic disease, particularly in the liver. This review synthesizes society recommendations and contemporary evidence guiding the surgical management of PNETs. Innovations in molecular profiling and systemic therapies hold promise to refine surgical algorithms for this heterogeneous tumor.
