Excellent Response to 177Lu-DOTATATE Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy in a Patient with Treatment-Related Neuroendocrine Prostate Cancer with Urinary Retention and Rectal Obstruction: A Case Report.
Article in Yonago acta medica, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Treatment-related neuroendocrine prostate cancer (tNEPC) occurs after androgen deprivation therapy and has a poor prognosis; however, there are few effective treatments for tNEPC. Therefore, tNEPC management is often challenging. This is a case of a 65-year-old Asian male patient with prostate adenocarcinoma who had metastases at initial presentation. After prostate biopsy revealed neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), he was treated with platinum-based systemic chemotherapy followed by pembrolizumab treatment. The primary tumor regions temporarily regressed, but progression of the primary tumor resulted in urinary retention and rectal obstruction; therefore, a transverse colostomy was performed, and a urethral catheter was inserted. Following somatostatin receptor scintigraphy (SRS), it was determined that the primary tumor expressed somatostatin receptors. Based on these results, treatment with 177Lu-DODATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy was prescribed. Subsequently, the primary tumor regressed remarkably, and the urethral catheter was removed. 177Lu-DOTATATE peptide receptor radionuclide therapy may be an effective option for tNEPC, which has few effective treatment options.
