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

Since its approval in 2018 by the US Food and Drug Administration, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has become a mainstay in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors. Lutetium-177-DOTATATE, the only approved agent, is indicated for the treatment of gastroenteropancreatic-neuroendocrine tumors. Although patient selection appears straightforward with somatostatin receptor-positron emission tomography, there is considerable complexity when deciding which patients to treat and when to start PRRT. Herein, we review the many factors that affect patient selection, focusing on the optimal patients to treat. Although significant effort has been expended to determine which patients benefit the most from PRRT, a validated predictive biomarker remains elusive. Although PRRT has been used for more than 2 decades in Europe and standards of care exist for safe treatment, there remain numerous questions regarding when PRRT should be used relative to other treatments. It is important to remember that multidisciplinary discussions are essential. Currently, there are a number of ongoing studies looking to assess the efficacy of PRRT compared with other treatment options and to optimize treatment through combination therapy, different dosing strategies, or use of different radionuclides and radioligands.
