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

Introduction: Biliary mixed neuroendocrine-non-neuroendocrine neoplasms (MiNENs) are rare, accounting for only 4-24% of all intestinal MiNENs. Diagnosing them preoperatively remains challenging due to the limitations of biopsy and imaging. As a result, the optimal treatment strategy, particularly for postoperative management, is still poorly defined. Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman presented to the Surgical Department of Sfax General Hospital on 23 December 2021, with a 1-month history of jaundice, yellow discoloration of the eyes and urine, and clay-colored stools. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed dilated intra- and extrahepatic biliary ducts without evidence of stones or masses in the common bile duct. A positron emission tomography scan confirmed peritoneal and thoracic adenomegaly. Intervention: The patient underwent a cephalic pancreatoduodenectomy (Whipple procedure). Outcomes histopathology: Histopathological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed a MiNEN. This case is particularly noteworthy for its rare association of a biliary MiNEN with a sarcomatoid component. Conclusion: This case highlights the diagnostic and therapeutic complexities of biliary MiNENs. Given their rarity, sharing evidence-based clinical experiences is vital to standardize practices and improve patient outcomes. This report emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach and thorough histopathological analysis to ensure accurate diagnosis and tailored management.
