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

purpose of reviewTo comprehensively synthesise and appraise the available evidence regarding therapies for metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasms that exploit the hepatic vasculature to deliver therapy to liver metastases. RECENT

findingsVarious techniques including transarterial embolisation/chemoembolisation (TAE/TACE) and selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT, also termed radioembolisation [RE]) have been examined in patents with neuroendocrine liver metastases. Variations in the radioactive agents for selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) have been explored, such as the use of Holmium-166, in addition to more established agents such as Yttrium-90. Recent trials have examined the safety and efficacy of combining liver-targeted therapy with systemic treatments, such as peptide receptor radionuclide therapy. More retrospective case series of liver-directed modalities will not provide additional knowledge. Randomised clinical trials have begun to compare the efficacy of different forms of liver-directed therapies, and also their combination with systemic treatment. Their results are expected to guide optimal treatment sequencing within multimodal concepts.
