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

Neurofibromatosis type I (NF1) is associated with a distinct subset of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) but is only rarely linked to neuroendocrine tumors. We describe a 61-year-old woman with NF1 who developed multifocal jejunal GISTs with a synchronous duodenal neuroendocrine tumor (an exceptionally uncommon coexistence). NF1-associated GISTs are typically multifocal, small-bowel predominant, and poorly responsive to targeted medical therapy, rendering surgical resection the primary treatment strategy. This case highlights the unique tumor biology of NF1 and emphasizes the importance of meticulous anatomic evaluation and coordinated multidisciplinary surgical planning to determine the optimal extent and approach to resection.
