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

Background: The prognosis of a pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (pNEN) is closely correlated with histological grade. While the role of tomoelastography in predicting tumor grades has been explored in various cancers, evidence regarding its association with the histological grade and clinical features of pNENs remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between tomoelastographic parameters and the histological grade and key clinical characteristics of pNENs. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 62 patients with pathologically confirmed pNENs, all of whom underwent tomoelastography prior to surgery without receiving neoadjuvant treatment. Patients were categorized into three groups: G1 ( Results: The shear wave speed ( Conclusion: Tomoelastography offers a promising quantitative tool for assessing the histological grade of pNENs and identifying more aggressive tumor behavior via increased tissue stiffness.
