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

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) comprise a heterogeneous group of tumors, mainly localized in the gastrointestinal system. What characterizes NENs is the expression of hormone receptors on the tumor cell surface, making them accessible for diagnostic and therapeutic approaches (theranostics) using radiolabelled peptides. Somatostatin receptors subtype-two (SST2) play an important role in NENs since they are overexpressed and homogeneously distributed at the surface of the majority of NENs. Accordingly, targeting SST2 for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes has been established. Current research aims at upregulating its expression by epigenetic treatment or improving its targeting via use of alternative radioligands. In addition, recent data suggest a future role of SST antagonists as a diagnostic tool and a potential therapeutic option. Another promising target is the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor. Targeting GLP-1R using exendin-4 (GLP-1 analogue) has a high sensitivity for the localization of the often SST2-negative sporadic insulinomas and insulinomas in the context of multiple endocrine neoplasia type-1. Further options for patients with insufficient expression of SST2 involve metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and the molecular target C-X-C motif chemokine receptor-4 (CXCR4), which have been evaluated for potential theranostic approach in symptomatic NENs or dedifferentiated tumors. Recently, new targets such as the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) and the fibroblast activation protein (FAP) have been identified in NENs. Finally, minigastrin - a ligand targeting the cholecystokinin-2 (CCK2) receptors in medullary thyroid carcinoma and foregut neuroendocrine tumors - may improve future management of these diseases with currently limited therapeutic options. This review summarises the current approaches and future challenges of diagnostic and therapeutic evaluations in neuroendocrine neoplasms.
