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

objectiveForegut and hindgut neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) contribute significantly to the global NET burden especially in Asian population; however, these cohorts are sparse and underrepresented in current trials assessing peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) in gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) NETs. This single-centre study evaluates the efficacy and safety of PRRT in advanced foregut and hindgut NETs.

methodsRetrospective data evaluation of consecutive patients with biopsy-proven metastatic foregut (gastric, lung and thymic NETs) and hindgut NETs (colorectal, anal and sacral NETs) who underwent PRRT from 2014 to 2024 at a tertiary care hospital was done. Up to four cycles of

resultsThirty-four patients (median age-56 yrs) with foregut (n = 16) and hindgut (n = 18) NETs received a total of 111 cycles (range 1-4) of

conclusionPRRT appears to be safe and effective treatment modality in advanced foregut and hindgut NETs. More prospective trials are required to validate these findings in larger cohorts.
