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

backgroundSurgical trauma may be associated with enhanced tumor growth and establishment. The authors studied the effect of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) pneumoperitoneum versus laparotomy on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFalpha), migration inhibitory factor (MIF) expression, and nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) activity in human gastric cancer.

methodsNude mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with human gastric cancer cells (MKN45). Then laparotomy, CO(2) pneumoperitoneum, and anesthesia alone were performed randomly. Tumor growth and associated TNFalpha and MIF expression and NFkappaB activity were determined.

resultsTotal tumor weight, especially at the anterior abdominal wall, was higher after laparotomy than after CO(2) pneumoperitoneum (p < 0.05). The mRNA expression of TNFalpha was higher 24 and 48 h after laparotomy than after CO(2) pneumoperitoneum (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively). At all the examined time points, MIF mRNA expression also was higher after laparotomy than after CO(2) pneumoperitoneum (p < 0.05 until 1 week or p < 0.01 at 2 weeks). The NFkappaB protein was more activated after laparotomy than after CO(2) pneumoperitoneum 6 h subsequent to surgical procedures.

conclusionAfter CO(2) pneumoperitoneum, tumors have less TNFalpha and MIF expression and less NFkappaB activity than after laparotomy. This may be associated with less tumor growth, supporting minimal invasive techniques in gastrointestinal oncologic surgery.
