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

Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a heterogeneous group of tumors arising from neuroendocrine cells located in various organs, most commonly the gastrointestinal tract and pancreas, followed by the lungs. According to the 2022 World Health Organization (WHO) classification, NENs are categorized into well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) based on morphological differentiation, with NETs further subdivided into G1, G2, and G3 according to the Ki-67 index. Among these, gastroenteropancreatic NENs (GEP-NENs) account for most cases and have become an important area of therapeutic investigation. As understanding of the disease has deepened, various treatment modalities have been developed, and treatment strategies tailored to specific subtypes have become increasingly complex. Currently, the treatment selection for GEP-NENs is largely based on the WHO classification. Hormonal therapy, molecular-targeted therapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy, and peptide receptor radionuclide therapy are standard treatment options for unresectable GEP-NETs, whereas cytotoxic chemotherapy remains the standard of care for GEP-NECs. However, therapeutic development and clinical outcomes remain unsatisfactory in unresectable NENs because of their rarity, highlighting the need for further therapeutic advancements in systemic therapy. In this review, we summarize the current landscape of systemic therapies, recent therapeutic advances, and their underlying biological mechanisms in GEP-NENs, while discussing the ongoing challenges and future directions in the field.
