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

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PanNETs) account for approximately 2% of all pancreatic malignancies. Several systemic treatment options have been developed over the last four decades, ranging from cytotoxic chemotherapy and octreotide to newer targeted therapies like sunitinib, cabozantinib, and lenvatinib. Although surgery or liver-directed therapy remains cornerstone for management of metastatic PanNETs, however, they remain unfeasible in majority of cases. PanNETs behave differently than SI-NETs (small intestinal NET); the former is more aggressive and less responsive to somatostatin-based therapies. The optimal sequence of the systemic therapies for the advanced PanNETs depends mainly on the tumor burden, Ki-67 index, and the tempo of the disease. In the end, drawing from ENETS (European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society) and ESMO (European Society for Medical Oncology) guidelines, we propose a working algorithm for the management of advanced PanNETs, not amenable to surgery or liver-directed therapies.
