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

introductionThere is a lack of data on the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of lanreotide autogel in patients with gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) of Chinese ethnicity. This noninterventional, retrospective study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of lanreotide autogel in patients of Chinese ethnicity with GEP-NETs in clinical practice.

methodsPatients' charts were abstracted from five hospitals in Hong Kong and Taiwan (July-September 2021), where lanreotide autogel is approved for treating GEP-NETs. Included patients were adults with unresectable, metastatic, or locally advanced GEP-NETs who received a first injection (index) of lanreotide autogel 120 mg between 01 January 2017 and 30 June 2020 (planned sample size: N = 30). Follow-up ran from index to a maximum of 48 (± 4) weeks or until disease progression, start of new antitumor treatment, or death. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS) rate at week 48 (±4), and secondary endpoints included PFS rate at week 24 (±4), estimated using Kaplan-Meier analyses. All analyses were descriptive.

resultsOf 27 patients enrolled, 22 (81.5%) had 48 weeks of follow-up. Tumors of pancreatic origin were the most common (73.9%). PFS rate was 0.96 (95% confidence interval: 0.72 - 0.99) at 24 weeks and 0.82 (0.53-0.94) at 48 weeks. Overall, 74.1% patients experienced ≥ 1 treatment-emergent adverse event; none were serious. No deaths were reported.

conclusionsLanreotide autogel was well tolerated and showed good tumor control rate in a real-world setting. These findings align with results from previous studies in Caucasian, Japanese, and Korean patients, thus supporting lanreotide autogel for treating patients with GEP-NETs of Chinese ethnicity.
