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

Somatostatin analogs (SSAs) were initially developed as antisecretory agents used for the control of hormonal syndromes associated with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). In recent years, accumulating evidence has also supported their role as antiproliferative agents in well or moderately differentiated NETs. The phase III PROMID trial demonstrated that octreotide long-acting repeatable (LAR) can significantly prolong time to progression among patients with metastatic midgut NETs. More recently, the randomized CLARINET trial reported a significant improvement in progression-free survival in a heterogeneous population of patients with gastroenteropancreatic (GEP)-NETs treated with depot lanreotide. Octreotide and lanreotide target somatostatin receptor subtypes in a similar fashion, and appear to be clinically interchangeable; however, comparative noninferiority trials have not been performed. Further studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy of novel SSAs such as pasireotide in the refractory setting, and the role of high-dose SSAs for symptom and tumor control.
