Prognostic significance of peritoneal washing cytology in Thai patients with gastric adenocarcinoma undergoing curative D2 gastrectomy.
Article in Gastric cancer : official journal of the International Gastric Cancer Association and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe aim of the present study was to determine the prognostic significance of peritoneal washing cytology (PWC) among Thai patients with gastric adenocarcinoma.
methodsMedical charts of 97 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent curative D2 gastrectomy between October 1995 and September 2005 were reviewed.
resultsA total of 22 patients (23%) had positive PWC. Factors significantly associated with positive PWC included tumor location, macroscopic findings, histology, depth of tumor invasion, nodal involvement, TNM stage, and angiolymphatic invasion. Positive PWC was found only in tumors invading the serosa. All patients with positive PWC developed peritoneal recurrence. The sensitivity and specificity of positive PWC in predicting peritoneal recurrence were 61% and 100%, respectively. The overall 5-year survival rates for patients with positive and negative PWC were 0% and 75%, respectively.
conclusionGastric adenocarcinoma with positive PWC should be considered stage IV disease. PWC should be included in the staging of gastric adenocarcinoma.
