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

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) represent a small and heterogeneous group of tumors that share a common phenotype, originating from cells within the endocrine and nervous systems. Metallodrugs have had a significant impact on the treatment of NENs, as platinum-based chemotherapy is the first-line therapy approved for managing these types of tumors. Currently, medicinal inorganic chemistry is investigating new metal-based drugs to mitigate the side effects of existing agents, including cisplatin and its derivative compounds. Among the emerging alternatives to platinum-based drugs, ruthenium-based complexes garnered attention as potential chemotherapeutics due to their notable antineoplastic and antimetastatic activity. This review focuses on the promising antitumor effects of certain Ru compounds in NEN therapy, emphasizing their potential in NEN treatment through interaction with new potential targets. Among these, IT-139 (also known as KP-1339 or NKP-1339), which has already entered clinical trials, and other new Ru compounds are highlighted.
