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

Composite gangliocytoma/neuroma and neuroendocrine tumors (CoGNETs) are extremely rare periampullary neoplasms composed of neuroendocrine epithelial, Schwannian spindle, and ganglion cells. Although endoscopic papillectomy or surgery have been used to treat ampullary CoGNETs, underwater endoscopic mucosal resection (UEMR) for periampullary lesions has not been previously described. In this study, we present a case of a 53-year-old man referred to our hospital with an incidentally detected subepithelial tumor in the second portion of the duodenum. Endoscopic ultrasound revealed a 13×10-mm homogeneous, hypoechoic, and well-demarcated submucosal mass. UEMR was performed under conscious sedation without submucosal injection, achieving safe en bloc resection within 12 min. Histopathology revealed a 2.0×1.5×1.2-cm lesion composed of mixed neuroendocrine epithelial, Schwannian spindle, and ganglion cells. Immunohistochemical staining was positive for chromogranin A, synaptophysin, CD56, neuron-specific enolase, and S-100, confirming CoGNET with a Ki-67 index of <1% and no lymphovascular or perineural invasion. Follow-up endoscopy 3 months later revealed only a post-resection scar without residual or recurrent tumors. This appears to be the first reported case of periampullary CoGNET successfully treated with UEMR. Therefore, UEMR might represent a safe and effective therapeutic option for selected periampullary subepithelial tumors.
