Emerging Diagnostics and Therapies in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms: A Critical Review.
Review in Cancers, 2025. 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
Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are biologically diverse tumors. This article is a critical review of recent evidence focusing on systemic therapies (through mid-2025). We summarize what is most practice-relevant and where gaps remain. In diagnosis, somatostatin-receptor PET/CT has largely replaced older scintigraphy, and adding FDG PET can flag more aggressive disease. Blood-based tests and selected tissue markers (e.g., MGMT, DAXX/ATRX/ALT) show promise but require cautious interpretation in routine care. In treatment, radioligand therapy (PRRT) is used earlier in appropriate receptor-positive disease; cabozantinib improves progression-free survival after prior therapy; and belzutifan offers a biomarker-guided option for malignant pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. Immunotherapy remains limited to defined subsets, including high-grade neoplasms. We appraise strengths and limitations of key trials, note issues of access and toxicity, and highlight active areas in development (SSTR antagonists, alpha emitters, and dose-guided PRRT). Our goal is to provide a concise, evidence-based map of the field to support informed clinical judgment and future research priorities.
