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

backgroundLutetium (Lu)-177 peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is one of the standard treatments for somatostatin receptor-positive well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). However, limited Asian representation in the pivotal NETTER-1 trial and a lack of real-world data for Lu-177 PRRT from Asian regions exist.

objectiveThis retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Lu-177 PRRT in Korean patients with advanced NETs. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis study analyzed 64 patients treated with Lu-177 DOTATATE PRRT at the Asan Medical Center, Seoul, Korea, between November 2019 and December 2022. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), and the secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), objective response rate (ORR), and safety profile.

resultsThe median age of patients was 55 years. Prior to PRRT, patients received a median of two lines (range 0-6) of systemic therapy. Fifty (78%) patients received the planned four cycles of Lu-177 DOTATATE PRRT. The median PFS was 21.7 months (95% confidence interval 16.7-not available) and the ORR was 20%. With a median follow-up of 15.7 months (range 1.0-39.3), the median OS was not reached and the 1-year OS rate was 88%. The median PFS was better in patients with grade 1-2 NETs than in those with grade 3 NET (not reached vs. 14.2 months; hazard ratio 3.15; p = 0.0058). Hematological toxicities were the common adverse events, including grade ≥ 3 anemia (7.8%), neutropenia (10.9%), and thrombocytopenia (9.4%).

conclusionsIn Korean patients with advanced NETs, Lu-177 DOTATATE PRRT showed efficacy and safety outcomes, consistent with those in the NETTER-1 trial and previous Western real-world studies.
