Evaluation of intraperitoneal lavage cytology before colorectal cancer resection.
Article in International journal of colorectal disease, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of intraperitoneal lavage cytology (lavage Cy) status before the resection of colorectal cancer as a predictive factor of peritoneal recurrence. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe lavage Cy-positive [lavage Cy (+)] rate, peritoneal recurrence rate, and 5-year survival rate were examined in 298 cases of colorectal cancer in relation to various clinicopathological factors.
resultsThe overall lavage Cy (+) rate was 6.0%. The lavage Cy (+) rate within the group with peritoneal and hepatic metastases was significantly higher than that in the group without metastases (46.7% vs. 3.9% and 26.9% vs. 4.0%, respectively). The lavage Cy (+) rate was not significantly associated with any of the clinicopathological factors examined. The peritoneal recurrence rate was higher in the lavage Cy (+) group than in the lavage Cy-negative [lavage Cy (-)] group, although the difference was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in survival, regardless of the lavage Cy status, among the 263 patients who underwent curative resection.
conclusionThe lavage Cy status before resection was not a useful predictive factor of peritoneal recurrence in cases of colorectal cancer.
