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

Recurrent syncope and behavioral changes in the older population may suggest several disease entities associated with aging. Hypoglycemia is an often-missed potentially correctable underlying cause that should also be considered in the differential diagnosis. We present a case of a 62-year-old Filipino female who presented with recurrent syncopal attacks, behavioral changes and unintentional weight gain, associated with endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia with no pancreatic mass seen on abdominal CT scan. A pancreatic head tumor was visualized through endoscopic ultrasound. Surgical removal of the mass resulted in resolution of her symptoms and restoration of her physical and functional wellbeing. This case is being reported to highlight that surgery cured her of the disease and she remains asymptomatic and well 13 years after her surgery.
