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

backgroundIn radioembolization, response is achieved through the irradiation and damaging of tumor DNA. For hepatic metastases of neuroendocrine tumors, a dose-response relationship has not been established yet. This study assesses whether increasing tumor-absorbed doses lead to increased response rates.

methodsWe included all patients who underwent yttrium-90 (

resultsA total of 128 tumors in 26 patients (31 procedures) were included in the response analysis. While correcting for confounding by tumor volume, a significant effect of response on dose was found (p = 0.0465). Geometric mean of absorbed dose for responding tumors was 170 Gy, for stable disease 101 Gy, and for progressive disease 67 Gy. No significant dose-toxicity relationship could be identified.

conclusionIn patients with neuroendocrine tumor liver metastases, treated with
