A case of high grade pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor and the importance of endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy technique.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are an uncommon group of insidious neoplasms that are often diagnosed in the advanced stages. Diagnosing pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors involves proper biopsy technique and immunohistochemistry, while treatments include targeted therapies and systemic chemotherapy. When diagnosed early, patients with localized disease generally have a positive prognosis. We share a case of a 56-year-old man presenting to the emergency department with acute abdominal pain found to have poorly differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor with metastasis on repeat endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle biopsy. Despite multiple treatment changes, sustained tumor presence led to numerous complications and ultimately patient death. This case highlights the nuances and challenges of diagnosing and treating a rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, such as the importance of biopsy technique.
