Trial report in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04893785 (A Phase II Single Arm Interventional Trial Evaluating the Activity and Safety of Combination Between Cabozantinib and Temozolomide in Lung and GEP-NENS Progressive After Everolimus, Sunitinib or PRRT), which is not on this map.

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.

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.

Abstract

Treatment options for patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are limited. Preclinical and early clinical evidence suggest that cabozantinib and temozolomide may exert synergistic antitumor activity. We performed an open-label, single-arm, phase 2 study (NCT04893785) to assess the safety and efficacy of cabozantinib and metronomic temozolomide in patients with advanced, progressive, well-differentiated NETs of gastroenteropancreatic, pulmonary or unknown origin. Patients received cabozantinib 40 mg daily and temozolomide 100 mg/m
