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

purposeTherapy with [

methodsMonocentric, retrospective analysis of 141 patients with NET (grading: 21% G1, 71% G2, 4% G3, 4% grading unknown; primary: 48% small intestine (SI-NET); 27% pancreas (P-NET); 9% colon/rectum; 1% stomach, 7% lung; 9% CUP-NET) receiving PRRT with [

resultsDeath from any cause was observed in 85 of 141 patients (60.3%). Median OS was 55.2 months (SI NET G1-G2: 62.7 months; P-NET G1-G2: 41.2 months; NET G3: 26.3 months). Multivariable Cox regression identified baseline De Ritis Ratio (p < 0.001), ALP (p < 0.001), CgA (p < 0.001) and prior therapy with mTOR-inhibitors (p = 0.005) as significant prognostic factors of OS. Overall response rate was 12% and disease control rate was 72%. In multivariable logistic regression, primary tumor location (p = 0.04) and CgA (p = 0.01) were significant prognostic factors for higher risk of primary progression.

conclusionThe analysis of OS from routine clinical practice shows that PRRT with [
