First Results and Experience with PRRT in South Africa.
Article in World journal of nuclear medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are a diverse group of tumors that often present late due to nonspecific symptoms. These tumors frequently express somatostatin receptors (SSRs), which allows for positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging with Ga-68-DOTATATE. In eligible patients, this may then be followed by peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). Here, we report our initial results and experience with PRRT in a developing country, as one of the first groups to provide this therapy in South Africa. Eligible patients with confirmed inoperable NETs were recruited prospectively and treated with Lu-177-DOTATATE. Baseline imaging was performed with either single-photon emission CT- or PET-based SSR analogs, whereas follow-up was performed with
