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

Adenocarcinoid of the appendix is an infrequent tumor with histologic features of both adenocarcinoma and carcinoid tumor. Although its malignant potential remains unclear, adenocarcinoids seem to be biologically more aggressive than conventional carcinoids. The aim of this study was to analyze long-term results of surgical treatment for appendiceal adenocarcinoid. A retrospective review (1991-2003) identified seven patients (median age 72, range 27-81 years) treated for appendiceal adenocarcinoid. The clinical data of these patients were reviewed. Follow-up was complete for all patients (median 60 months, range 24-108 months). Most cases presented with associated acute appendicitis (71%). First intention surgery consisted of appendectomy (m = 6) and right hemicolectomy (m = 1). In three patients, additional surgical procedures were performed (right colectomy). Indications for colectomy were tumor size (three cases) associated with appendectomy margin invasion in one case. One patient with lymph node and peritoneal involvement experienced recurrence 9 months after hemicolectomy and died of the disease at 2 years. One patient subsequently died of colon carcinoma 6 years after adenocarcinoid treatment. Five patients were alive without disease at the time of the last follow-up. Synchronous or metachronous colon carcinomas developed in three patients (43%). Our results suggest that appendectomy alone could be used for appendiceal adenocarcinoid provided that the tumor (1) is less than 1 cm; (2) does not extend beyond the appendix adventitia; (3) has less than 2 mitoses/10 high power fields; and (4) has surgical margins that are tumor free. Otherwise, carcinologic right colectomy seems to be indicated. The risk for developing colorectal adenocarcinoma seems to be extremely high in patients treated for appendiceal adenocarcinoid and warrants close follow-up with colonoscopic screening.
