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) are a group of heterogeneous malignancies, arising from the neuroendocrine system. These neoplasms are divided into two distinct groups, the low-proliferating, well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), and the highly-proliferating, poorly-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs). Recent data demonstrate that the incidence of gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms, GEP-NETs and GEP-NECs, has increased exponentially over the last three decades. Although surgical resection is considered the best treatment modality, patients with GEP-NETs often present with advanced disease at diagnosis associated with a 5-year survival rate of 57% for well-differentiated tumors, and only 5.2% for small-cell tumors. Immunotherapy is a novel treatment approach, which has demonstrated effective and promising therapeutic results against several types of cancers. In the present study, we review the current ongoing clinical trials and to evaluate the efficacy of immunotherapy in GEP-NENs. Furthermore, we analyze the importance of tumor genetic profiling and its clinical implications in immunotherapy response.
