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

Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is used to treat patients with advanced malignant pheochromocytomas (PCCs) and paragangliomas (PGLs). Patients are at risk of a PRRT-induced catecholamine crisis, and standard guidelines regarding the prevention and management of infusion reactions are lacking. In this case series, the institutional experience of five sequential patients with metastatic PCCs and PGLs receiving PRRT on an outpatient basis is described, of which four had symptomatic tumors and three had a high burden of disease. All patients with symptomatic tumors were treated with preventive management prior to the initiation of PRRT, and no infusion reactions or catecholamine crises were documented. PRRT may be delivered safely on an outpatient basis for patients with metastatic PCCs and PGLs with the involvement of an interdisciplinary team.
