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

backgroundPheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGL) are rare and heterogeneous neuroendocrine tumors for which therapeutic options remain limited, particularly in the metastatic or progressive setting. Radioligand therapy (RLT) has emerged as a promising strategy, leveraging tumor-specific molecular targets to deliver cytotoxic radiation.

objectiveThis review provides a structured and updated overview of RLT in PPGL, critically comparing the two main therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals-[

methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science (updated to August 2024), focusing on studies evaluating RLT in PPGL. Due to heterogeneity in study design, protocols, and outcome measures, a metaanalysis was not feasible.

resultsEvidence derives predominantly from small retrospective studies and a limited number of prospective cohorts. Both [

conclusionsRLT represents a valuable therapeutic option for patients with progressive or symptomatic PPGL. Advances in molecular imaging, alphaemitter therapies, and personalized dosimetry are expected to further refine treatment selection and improve outcomes. Larger prospective studies are needed to define optimal sequencing and integration into clinical practice.
