Survival and Response Outcomes for Gastrointestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor (GEP-NETs) Patients Treated with Lutetium-177-DOTATATE in a Brazilian Reference Center: A Six-Year Follow-Up Experience.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundPRRT can be an option for all-grade GEP-NETs, but selecting patients is challenging. In this scenario, clinical-pathological and radiological characteristics, such as pre-treatment Ga-68 DOTA PET/CT, might have the potential to help.
methodsA retrospective chart review was conducted on advanced GEP-NETs treated with at least one PRRT dose. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Krenning Score (KS), and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) were derived from the pre-treatment scans. A maximally selected rank statistics test was used for SUVmax simple cut point estimate.
resultsAmong 36 patients, 19 had primary pancreatic tumors. The numbers of G1, G2, and G3 tumors were 10, 18, and 7, respectively. During a median follow-up of 90.5 months, 4 patients died. Median OS was not reached for G1 and G2 tumors, and it was 30 months for G3 (
conclusionsPRRT provides long-term PFS in patients with G1/G2 GEP-NETs independent of clinical characteristics and primary site. G3 has worse survival, but selected patients may experience long OS after PRRT treatment.
