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

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an established therapy for metastatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). The role of PRRT as a neoadjuvant treatment prior to surgery or other local therapies is uncertain. This scoping review aimed to define the landscape of evidence available detailing the utility of PRRT in the neo-adjuvant setting, including the clinical contexts, efficacy, and levels of evidence. A comprehensive literature search of PUBMED, SCOPUS, and EMBASE through to December 2022 was performed to identify reports of PRRT use as neoadjuvant therapy prior to local therapies. Observational studies and clinical trials were included. A total of 369 records were identified by the initial search, and 17 were included in the final analysis, comprising 179 patients treated with neoadjuvant PRRT. Publications included case reports, retrospective cohort series and a phase 2 trial. Definitions of unresectable disease were variable. Radioisotopes used included
