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

purposeThe aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of (111)In-DTPA-Phe(1)-octreotide infusions after selective catheterization of the hepatic artery in inoperable metastasised liver, sst(2) receptor-positive neuroendocrine tumours due to the effect of (111)In Auger electron emission, minimising in parallel the toxicity of non-target tissue.

methodsThe average dose per session administered monthly to each patient (17 cases in total) was 6.3+/-2.3 GBq. Repetitions did not exceed 12-fold, except in one case (15 sessions). Response assessment was classified according to the Response Evaluating Criteria in Solid Tumours. CT/MRI scans were performed as baseline before, during and after the end of treatment, and monthly ultrasound images for follow-up measurements. Toxicity (World Health Organization criteria) was measured using blood and urine tests of renal, hepatic and bone marrow function.

resultsComplete response was achieved in one (5.9%) patient and partial in eight (47.0%), and disease stabilization in 3 (17.7%) patients; five (29.4%) did not respond. A 32-month median survival time was estimated in 12 (70.5%). Nine of these 12 surviving had a mean target diameter shrinkage from 144+/-81 to 60+/-59 mm. Grade 1 erythro-, leuko- and thrombo-cytopenia occurred in three (17.6%) cases.

conclusionIn unresectable metastatic liver lesions positive for somatostatin receptors repeated, transhepatic high doses of (111)In-DTPA-Phe(1)-octreotide show an effective therapeutic outcome. Given the locoregional modality character of the administration technique plus the extremely short range of (111)In Auger and internal conversion electrons emission, no nephro-, liver- or myelo-toxicity has so far been observed.
