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

A 10-year-old male toy poodle presented with hypoglycemia. An insulinoma was suspected and a surgical excision of two pancreatic masses was performed. White-gray, demarcated, soft masses were identified in the pancreas. Histopathologically, two types of growth patterns were observed in the same neoplasm: nest and glandular. To investigate cellular differentiation, we performed immunohistochemical and transmission electron microscopy analyses. Both types of neoplastic cells were immunopositive for INSM1, Nkx2.2 and insulin. However, the neoplastic cells exhibiting the nest pattern contained exocrine granules, whereas those with the glandular pattern were immunopositive for cytokeratin. Both types of neoplastic cells showed not only neuroendocrine but also exocrine differentiation in the same neoplastic cell. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report describing the morphology and immunophenotype of the canine insulinoma with amphicrine differentiation: showing both neuroendocrine and exocrine features.
