Controversies in NEN: An ENETS position statement on the interchangeability of somatostatin receptor PET tracers.
Review in Journal of neuroendocrinology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 2 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
Molecular imaging of the somatostatin receptor (SSTR) plays a key role in the management of patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms in general, and neuroendocrine tumours in particular. Over the last 2 decades, gallium-68 labelled somatostatin analogues have revolutionised SSTR imaging through the advent of SSTR positron emission tomography (PET), leading to better staging and theranostic imaging. Recent advances in the development of PET SSTR tracers continue to change the field, with novel tracers labelled with different radionuclides such as fluorine-18 and copper-64, or based on new antagonist vector molecules. The advent of these innovations generates questions, such as which tracers can be used in clinical practice, how to compare scans performed with different tracers, or can antagonists be used to select patients for peptide receptor radionuclide therapy? This 'controversy paper' from the European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society provides an overview of the relevant evidence to answer these questions, and provides guidance to clinicians and nuclear medicine physicians for contemporary use of SSTR PET.
