Metastatic Adrenal Cortical Carcinoma Responding to Octreotide: A Case Report.
Article in The oncologist, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is an aggressive disease with poor prognosis, and the current therapeutic options, such as mitotane or platinum-based chemotherapy regimens, often offer limited efficacy. Here, we present the first report, to the author's knowledge, of metastatic ACC with positive octreoscan scintigraphy that was successfully treated with octreotide long-acting release (LAR). A patient with metastatic ACC who showed poor tolerance to mitotane received octreotide LAR because of positive octreoscan scintigraphy. She obtained major partial response to the somatostatin analog. Interestingly, the expression of somatostatin receptor 2 from the previous local recurrence lesion was negative. The next-generation sequencing-based circulating tumor DNA analysis in the patient was performed and failed to identify any alterations. These findings suggest that octreotide LAR may be a good option for the treatment of metastatic ACC in selected patients.
