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

backgroundWell-differentiated rectal neuroendocrine tumors (rNETs) represent approximately 28% of gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors, with a rising incidence over recent decades. However, data from Perú remains limited.

aimTo assess overall survival (OS) in patients with rNETs and describe the clinical and pathological characteristics of the study population.

methodsThis retrospective study included patients diagnosed with rNETs at the Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas between 2009 and 2024. Qualitative variables were evaluated using the

resultsA total of 52 patients were included, with a mean age of 51.9 years (range: 27-74 years) and composed of 65.4% females. The most common stage at diagnosis was stage I (48.1%), followed by stage IV (36.5%). The median OS within the study population was 76 months. The 5-year OS for grade 1 tumors was 92.9% compared to 32.6% for grade 2 tumors (

conclusionrNETs exceeding 2 cm in size, classified as grade 2, or presenting with lymph node involvement 1 status were correlated with advanced disease stages and diminished survival outcomes.
