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

Capecitabine plus temozolomide (CAPTEM) improves progression-free survival (PFS) in pancreatic endocrine and neuroendocrine neoplasms (PNENs), yet its real-world effectiveness across other endocrine and neuroendocrine neoplasm (ENEN) subtypes remains uncertain. We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study including 159 adults with ENENs treated with CAPTEM in Alberta, Canada (2011-2021). Patients were stratified by primary tumor site, treatment line, and number of CAPTEM cycles received. Kaplan-Meier methods and Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for age and sex were used to evaluate PFS and overall survival (OS). Compared with pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms PNENs, gastrointestinal neuroendocrine neoplasms (GINENs) demonstrated similar PFS and OS. In contrast, pulmonary neuroendocrine neoplasms (PuNENs) and other ENENs (OENENs) were associated with significantly shorter PFS and OS. Use of CAPTEM in the first-line setting was associated with improved PFS (HR 0.56, 95% CI 0.40-0.78,
