Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in radioiodine-refractory thyroid cancer: A case report of significant response to lu177 DOTA-TATE treatment.
Article in Archives of endocrinology and metabolism, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
A 59-year-old woman with follicular thyroid carcinoma underwent total thyroidectomy followed by radioiodine treatment. Following treatment, the whole-body scan did not show any abnormal radioiodine uptake. However, during the follow-up, the serum thyroglobulin (Tg) value increased without detectable thyroglobulin-antibodies. We performed a Ga-68 DOTA-TATE PET/CT showing a sternal lesion and several lung nodules with high somatostatin receptor density. Also, on the next day, FDG PET/CT was performed, which confirmed the findings. Considering the high levels of somatostatin receptor expression in such metastases, we planned lu177 DOTA-TATE therapy. After two cycles of lu177 DOTA-TATE injection, serum thyroglobulin significantly dropped, and she claimed that her sternal pain and dyspnea were much better. This was the case of a patient suffering from iodine-refractory follicular thyroid carcinoma, with somatostatin-receptor expression, treated with 177Lu-DOTA-TATE, showing a significant response.
