Acidic glycosaminoglycans of abdominal mucin in a case of pseudomyxoma peritonei caused by appendiceal cancer.

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
Although the use of intraperitoneal mucolytic agents is useful in the management of pseudomyxoma peritonei, effective removal of mucin is difficult even by repeated mucolysis in cases with massive ascites. To establish mucolytic therapy as a further effective procedure, biochemical analysis of mucin is required in greater detail. We reported here a case of pseudomyxoma peritonei caused by primary appendiceal cancer with biochemical analysis of mucin. The abdominal cavity in this case was filled with massive mucinous ascites. Although the mucolytic therapy was performed repeatedly, it was not effective in preventing mechanical ileus which was followed by surgical exclusion. Biochemical study of mucin showed that the mucin contained a small amount of hyaluronic acid, as characterized by electrophoretic study. These data led us to the hypothesis that the hyaluronic acid component plays a role in the pathogenesis of the replacement of mucin in the abdominal cavity.
