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
Gastric neuroendocrine tumors (G-NETs) are rare neoplasms with a favorable survival rate, yet they present a significant risk for second primary malignancies (SPMs). This study aims to estimate the relative risks of SPMs in G-NET survivors, exploring variations across key patient characteristics. Patients diagnosed with G-NETs were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2000-2021). Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and excess absolute risks (EARs) were calculated to assess SPM risk stratified by age at diagnosis, gender, race, latency period, marital status, and surgical intervention. Among 5072 G-NET survivors, 912 (18.0%) developed SPMs, with a median interval of 34.3 months between the diagnoses. The overall SIR for SPMs was 2.09 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.96-2.23), corresponding to an EAR of 145.64 per 10,000 person-years. Increased risks were observed for cancers of the stomach, small intestine, thyroid, hepatobiliary system, pancreas, and esophagus. The highest risk for SPMs occurred within the first 4 years following G-NET diagnosis (SIR 2.57; 95% CI 2.11-3.1), with a gradual decline thereafter. Patients under 50 years had the highest SIRs, particularly for stomach cancer (SIR 196.28; 95% CI 160.21-238.05). Females exhibited a slightly higher SIR than males. White patients demonstrated the highest risk for stomach cancer, with an SIR of 63.88 (95% CI 57.00-71.38). G-NET survivors are at a persistently elevated risk of developing SPMs, particularly within the first 4 years of diagnosis. Age, gender, and racial factors significantly influence this risk. Personalized surveillance strategies are warranted to address these disparities and reduce SPM incidence.
