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

Background: Patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET) of the gastroenteropancreatic tract (GEP-NET) were effectively treated with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with Lu-177-DOTATATE in the NETTER-1 trial. The aim of this study was to assess the outcome of metastatic GEP-NET patients within a European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) certified center of excellence after this treatment. Methods: A total of 41 GEP-NET patients who received PRRT with Lu-177-DOTATATE between 2012 and 2017 at a single center were included in this analysis. Data on pre- and post-PRRT treatments [selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), somatostatin analogue therapy (SSA), blood parameters, patient symptomatic burden and overall survival] was extracted from patient records. Results: Overall, PRRT was well tolerated and did not increase patient symptomatic burden. Blood parameters were not significantly affected by PRRT (means before and after therapy: hemoglobin: 125.4 Conclusions: Patients with advanced GEP-NET might benefit from PRRT with Lu-177-DOTATATE as it can provide a valuable treatment modality in advanced disease stages. Safety profiles of PRRT were manageable without increasing the symptomatic burden. SIRT before PRRT or lack of SSA after PRRT seem to impair the response and reduce survival.
