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
Background: Gallbladder cancer is a highly lethal biliary tract malignancy. Among them, mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNEN), particularly those containing large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) components, are extremely rare and highly aggressive. Due to its low incidence and insidious symptoms, reports on the clinicopathological characteristics and optimal treatment strategies for such tumors are very limited, with diagnosis primarily relying on pathology and immunohistochemistry. Case presentation: A 78-year-old female was incidentally found to have a gallbladder mass during a routine physical examination, accompanied by a significantly elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level (84.09 ng/ml). MRI imaging indicated gallbladder malignancy with multiple liver and hilar lymph node metastases. The patient underwent extended radical surgery, including partial hepatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and partial portal vein resection with anastomosis. Postoperative pathology and immunohistochemistry confirmed a mixed adenoma-large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gallbladder with multiple metastases. Immunohistochemistry showed Syn (+), CK19 (+), Ki-67 (+) approximately 80%, INSM1 (+), and CgA (+) approximately 10%. All surgical margins were negative. The patient recovered well postoperatively. Conclusion: This case report describes a rare case of locally advanced mixed adenoma-large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the gallbladder in primary hospital. Achieving negative margins through aggressive extended radical surgery may be a feasible treatment option in carefully selected patients; however, the oncological benefit remains to be validated. It emphasizes the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in diagnosis and treatment and adds new data to the limited literature on this rare disease.
