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 (panNETs) are rare pediatric malignancies with age-specific clinical and biological features. Data on their presentation, management, and outcomes remain limited. This retrospective study analyzed 28 pediatric panNET cases from the German Malignant Endocrine Tumor (MET) Registry enrolled between 1997 and 2024. Clinical presentation, diagnostics, and treatment were evaluated to identify prognostic factors and outcomes. The cohort included 18 females (64.3%) and 10 males (35.7%), with a median age at diagnosis of 14.7 years. Nonfunctional tumors predominated (75%). Genetic syndromes were identified in 17.9% of patients. Localized disease showed a 3-year overall survival (OS) of 100%, while metastatic disease had a 3-year OS of 50.9%. Event-free survival was significantly associated with the presence of distant metastases (M0 vs. M1, p = .0082) and complete surgical resection (R
