A Randomized Trial Evaluating Patient Experience and Preference Between Octreotide Long-Acting Release and Lanreotide for Treatment of Well-Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors.
Trial report in JCO oncology practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03289741 (A Pilot Study To Evaluate Patient Experience With the Somatostatin Analogs Octreotide Long Acting Release and Lanreotide During the Treatment of Advanced, Nonfunctional, Well Differentiated Neuroendocrine Tumors), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeSomatostatin analogs octreotide long-acting release (octLAR) and lanreotide are equally acceptable in National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Lanreotide is more expensive and given by deep subcutaneous injection, whereas octLAR is given intramuscularly. We evaluated patient preference between these agents in terms of injection site pain. MATERIALS AND
methodsRandomized, single-blinded study. Patients with NETs received injections every 4 weeks. Arm 1: octLAR × 3, then lanreotide × 3; arm 2: reverse order. Self-reported injection site pain scores (range, 0-10) were obtained after each of the first three injections. Primary end point was comparison of mean pain scores over the first three injections. Secondary end points included patient-reported preference.
resultsFifty-one patients enrolled (26 in arm 1 and 25 arm 2), all evaluable for primary end point. No significant difference was identified in the mean pain score over the first three injections (2.4 ± 1.9
conclusionWe found minimal pain with octLAR and lanreotide and no significant pain score differences between the two. Patients indicating a drug preference trended toward favoring octLAR.
