Targeted therapy in advanced well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors.
Review in The oncologist, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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.
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
Treatments for advanced neuroendocrine tumors were, until recently, rather limited. Salvage surgery and liver-directed therapy both have relatively limited impact, and systemic cytotoxic chemotherapy has minimal efficacy. In the absence of other effective treatments, somatostatin analogs have been used for years to control disease and neuroendocrine symptoms, without cytotoxic intent. Advances in targeted therapy for neuroendocrine tumors have opened several potentially new treatment paradigms in the management of these otherwise relatively drug-resistant neoplasms. Promising results have emerged from studies evaluating radiolabeled somatostatin analogs and inhibitors of the vascular endothelial growth factor and mammalian target of rapamycin pathways. This article reviews several of the more encouraging developments in this field.
