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

In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) standardized neuroendocrine neoplasm terminology, dividing these tumors by differentiation into well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas. Registries such as the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program and the National Cancer Database (NCDB) store legacy codes predating this framework, raising concern that registry-based research carries nomenclature errors into the clinical literature. We performed a scoping review of research published in 2012-2022 that used SEER and/or the NCDB to study gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, charting 170 articles (from 1079 citations) against the 2010 classification, with forward citation analysis (OpenAlex, Semantic Scholar) measuring downstream citation exposure. Of 141 assessable studies, 88% (
