A randomized phase II study of everolimus for advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors in Chinese patients.
Trial report in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 8 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Everolimus, an oral inhibitor of mammalian target of mTOR, has been recently shown to have antitumor effect in a phase III, double-blind, randomized trial (RADIANT-3) of 410 patients with advanced pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs). The purpose of this study was to investigate the specific efficacy and safety of everolimus in the Chinese patient with PNETs. In this randomized phase II study, the analysis on Chinese patients was performed comparing efficacy and safety between everolimus 10 mg/day orally (n = 44) and matching placebo (n = 35). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Adverse events were also examined. The median PFS was 15.47 months with everolimus [95% confidence interval (CI) 10.52-26.37], as compared to 4.29 months with placebo (95% CI 2.22-10.75), representing a 72% reduction in the risk of progression or death (hazard ratio 0.27; 95% CI 0.13-0.59; P < 0.001). Drug-associated adverse events (AEs) were mostly grade 1 or 2, observed in all 44 (100%) patients receiving everolimus and in 29 (83%) patients receiving placebo. The most common AEs (grade 1-4) associated with everolimus were rash (n = 38; 86%), stomatitis (n = 30; 68%), infections (n = 33; 75%), epistaxis (n = 32; 73%), pneumonitis (n = 27; 61%) and anemia (n = 22; 50%). Everolimus when compared with placebo is effectively in improving PFS in Chinese patients with PNETs.
