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

backgroundGastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP-NENs) account for more than 50% of all NENs. The survival of patients with GEP-NENs has improved based on early diagnosis and improved treatment strategies. The real-world data of GEP-NENs in Taiwan are limited. A multicenter registry study was conducted to obtain real-world data on GEP-NENs in Taiwan.

methodsPatients with pathologically diagnosed GEP-NENs were enrolled. Data were on the baseline characteristics, treatment strategies, and patient survival. Also evaluated was the expression status of six biomarkers, including SSTR2, SSTR5, PDX-1, CDX-2, mASH1, and NeuroD, in tumors. Overall survival (OS) was analyzed and plotted via the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the prognostic factors of OS.

resultsA total of 600 GEP-NEN patients were enrolled. Pancreatic NENs accounted for 43.0% of all patients. The 5-year and 10-year OS rates of all patients were 70.9% and 61.3%, respectively. In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, older age (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.02; 95% CI, 1.01-1.03), higher Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score, higher tumor grade (World Health Organization classification) and stage 4 disease (HR = 6.22; 95% CI, 3.60-10.76) were associated with poor OS. Positive SSTR2 expression (HR = 0.53; 95% CI, 0.31-0.91) was associated with better OS according to multivariate Cox regression analysis.

conclusionsThis study provides real-world data on 600 GEP-NENs in Taiwan and identifies age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score, tumor grade, tumor stage, and SSTR2 expression as prognostic factors for the survival of GEP-NENs.
